Re: Require Subfile values to be unique

Not sure if this would fit the bill, but why not use a for loop, reading
though the subfile and loading a data structure array? Once loaded,
sort the array on the customer number and then re-fill the subfile from
the sorted array. As you write each record see if the customer number
is like the previous customer number; if it is, set on an indicator for
RI. That way, if there is a duplicate, the user sees the other record
immediately and does not have to search for it.

Is there a subfile keyword/technique/simple way to require the values entered into a SFL to be unique. I don't suppose IBM built this feature 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.
