Problem Note 13657: VIEWTABLE window may be slow to close after creating WHERE subset with
"Lookup distinct values"
If you use the WHERE EXPRESSION window within the VIEWTABLE window and
chose "<Lookup distinct values>" to build a WHERE clause on a column
with several thousand distinct values, it may take more than a minute to
subsequently close the VIEWTABLE window.
There are 2 possible circumventions for this performance problem:
1. within the WHERE EXPRESSION window, use <enter Constant value>
rather than <Lookup distinct values> to define the value upon
which to create the subset
2. avoid the WHERE window altogether and issue the WHERE command.
