Re: Declare a key on a subfile... is it possible?

<<I'd suggest that as you add each record to your subfile, you also add the

zip code to an array.  Then you can use %LOOKUP to check if you've already
added that zip code.>>

The problem I have with this suggestion is that it limits you to the number
of DIMs you specify for the array.

No.

I'd suggest that as you add each record to your subfile, you also add the
zip code to an array.  Then you can use %LOOKUP to check if you've already
added that zip code.
