Would it help to do a sorta on the array? Then, they are in numerical order and the issue becomes much simpler.

Of course, you could also use 5 checkboxes on the screen? Or, 5 yes/no fields?

I have a set of five values that come in from a prompt screen that can be from 1 to 5 and can only occur once. That is, if a value is entered (not 0) , it must be a value from 1 to 5 and there cannot be duplicate values.

The fields are loaded into an array:

     DUDFS             DS
     D  FTSUDF1                       1S 0
     D  FTSUDF2                       1S 0
     D  FTSUDF3                       1S 0
     D  FTSUDF4                       1S 0
     D  FTSUDF5                       1S 0
     D  UDF                                Like(FTSUDF1) Dim(5)
     D                                     overlay(UDFS)

and then I loop through them:

          for LoopCount =  1 to 5;
            if UDF(LoopCount) <> 0;
             // Check to make sure the value is between 1 and 5
                if UDF(LoopCount) > 5;
                      //Error occurs
                endif;
             // Check to make sure the number only occurs once
                ??
            endif;
         endfor;

I can't think of an easy way to check the occurrence of the number in the array. The brain is just a wee bit stretched tonight.

A quick solution?

Thanks,

Pete Helgren
