SeekMin Function

Format:
i = seekmin(multiple-item condition[,numeric-expr]);

Description:
The seekmin function returns the occurrence number of the item with the lowest value that satisfies a certain condition in a multiply occurring item. If numeric-expr is included, the function starts searching the multiply occurring record for a true condition starting at occurrence numeric-expr.

Return value:
The function returns the occurrence number of an item that meets the condition or 0 if no such item is found.

Example
// seekmax
numeric eldest_index = seekmax(AGE);
numeric eldest_aged_12to64_index = seekmax(AGE in 12:64);

// seekmin
numeric youngest_aged_65plus_index = seekmin(AGE in 65:95);
