x3 export template-using list in parameters using a global variable - selection criteria

Hi in the criteria screen during an export can I use a global variable / against a parameter to select a list of companies - if so how do I do the list of companies and what do I put in the selection criteria- have tried lots of options - such as comma seperate list in the parameter then find([F:BAL]CPY,GZCOMP) - comes back with 0 records if I put [F:BAL]CPY='185' | [F:BAL]CPY='195'     etc.  this works but not enought room for my list (also tried using company groups - this also doesn't work)
