Look at using ASCAN() and rethink your logic. Create an array containing the two digit codes and a second one contianing the four-digit codes. Then check the first two digits of the computername and then the four-digit ones.
code:
$two='S01','R01'
$four='0425','0900'
if ascan($two,left(@WKSTA,2))=-1 and ascan($four,left((@WKSTA,4))=-1
  ; not in either array
else
  ; in at least one fo the arrays
endif
