OK, I admit I don't have the original thread anymore.<br><br>If I am not wrong (which is always a possibility) for Wolfgang's operator to work you'd need to externalise the superset from the rule into WorkingMemory. You could have a rule with higher salience construct the superset WM fact.<br>

Wolfgang gave a great solution.<br></div>

Don't know if I'm missing something obvious here. I have a superset in the rule itself. Each rule has a superset list. In this case how would I use Wolfgang's solution. Its comparing through two arrays in runtime. I have not been able to construct an array construct with specific values in the rule itself.<br>
