if you want the cycles with the biggest 52 numbers :
select empcode ;
into cursor newtable ;
from mytable my ;
where my.cycle in (SELECT TOP 52 aux.cycle ;
from mytable as aux ;
order by cycle desc) ;
order by empcode ;
group by empcode
If you want the last 52 cycles (sequentially last) :
select empcode ;
into cursor newtable ;
from mytable my ;
where my.cycle in (SELECT x.cycle ;
FROM (SELECT TOP 52 aux.cycle, RECNO();
from mytable as aux ;
order by 2 desc) as x) ;
order by empcode ;
group by empcode
