[Anstis, Michael (M.)]

Something like this?

rule "Codes1"
when  
then
	Codes1List codes1 = lookupDAO.getLookup( CODES_1 );	<--
Codes1List is a subclass of List
	assert( codes1 );
end

rule "Codes2"
when  
then
	Codes2List codes2 = lookupDAO.getLookup( CODES_2 );	<--
Codes2List is a subclass of List
	assert( codes2 );
End

rule "Codes3"
when  
then
	Codes3List codes3 = lookupDAO.getLookup( CODES_3 );	<--
Codes3List is a subclass of List
	assert( codes3 );
End
 
rule "doing something"
when
	Customer( $custCode : customer_code )
	$codes1 : Codes1List()
	$codes2 : Codes2List()
	$codes3 : Codes3List()
	SHIPMENT_MOVE( 
		customer_code == $custCode, 
		$sc : ship_code, 
		$dc : deliver_code, 
		$pc : port_code,
		( $codes1.containts($sc) || $codes2.containts($dc) ||
$codes3.containts($pc) )
	) 
then
	// do something
End

Otherwise you'll need to explain your model to me and what you're trying
to achieve a little more.

Thanks,

Mike

Good to hear - YES, I want to use Edson's first example where he uses
List.contains() - his example, however, used just ONE list object and I
need
to declare and refer to MULTIPLE list objects asserted into working
memory. 
COuld you show syntax for multiple list object definitions?  

THanks in advance,
james
