Assigning A Variable To A Group Of Values

[rerun_lives]

Is it possible to assign a variable to represent the MAX or MIN value from a group of features: EX. the "Z" values for a group of 4 points. Points:
"21_a" where the .Z= 0.0005
"21_b" where the .Z= 0.0016
"21_c" where the .Z= -0.0023
"21_d" where the .Z= 0.0020

If you could please show me the SYNTAX I would greatly appreciate it.

Yes, get the index number of the max then replace that index with whatever it is you want to replace it with. You are using an array right?

For example:

            ASSIGN/AR_YOUR_ARRAY = ARRAY(0.0005, 0.0016, -0.0023, 0.0020)
            ASSIGN/AR_MAXINDX = MAXINDEX(AR_YOUR_ARRAY)
            ASSIGN/AR_YOUR_ARRAY[AR_MAXINDX] = PUT THE VALUE YOU WANT TO REASSIGN IT TO HERE

Never mind I read your post wrong the above replaces the max value. I don't know what I was thinking.

ASSIGN/V1 = 21_A.Z
ASSIGN/V2 = 21_B.Z
ASSIGN/V3 = 21_C.Z
ASSIGN/V4 = 21D.Z
ASSIGN/V4 = ARRAY (V1,V2,V3,V4)
ASSIGN/ V5 = MAX (V4)
ASSIGN/V6 = MIN (V4)
Then create generic points out of your min/max assignments
Think thats what your asking
