Help with Min and Max

I am tasked with obtaining the Minimum and Maximum distance of points from a datum or X origin (they are the same feature). I was able to accomplish this using ASSIGN and ARRAY with the 64 planes. The customer has need of the Min/Max data from the 256 points that the constructed planes are comprised of. The same ASSIGN functions I was using will not accommodate the amount of features that I need data from. There's some limit on how many features you can have on a line or to assign to.

Below is the variable I was using for the plane features. Is there help I can get to adapt this for the Min/Max distance for 128 individual points? I need to know the distance the plane is from origin on the X Axis at any given point and not just the plane. Thank you for the help!

An idea, just know that do loops do take up some additional time in your routine. You can also set it to collect the names if you need them.

You could create a COP with planes, then search the min and max x.
If it doesn't work like this, create a feature set from the cop, then search min and max.

Try this:
I use this method to find max or min point.
