On a recent consulting project using the AutoMod simulation system, I encountered a situation in which it became necessary to select a load from an order list using a fairly complex set of criteria. While the general solution to this problem is very straightforward, it occurred to me that it requires an unusual—and, so far as I can tell, undocumented—syntax that I suspect will be unfamiliar to many AutoMod users. So, for the benefit of my fellows in the simulation community, I felt it appropriate to document this approach in my blog……
