Remember, subfiles are not actually database files. They don't have
indexes ("keys"), and therefore it would be extremely difficult for a
subfile to check if it had a duplicate value.
Really, subfiles are just fancy arrays that are maintained by the OS.

Is there a subfile keyword/technique/simple way to require the values

into DDS? Or do I have to check the SFL programmatically?
I have a SFL where the user enters multiple pages of customer numbers and
they can be in any order, they just can't enter the same number more than
once.
Any and all thoughts on this are appreciated.
