Multiple record formats in the file? Chain to one, write to another?

Subject: Attempt to write duplicate record...

  Hi All,

  I had a stored procedure fail with RNX1021 Attempt to write a duplicate
  record to file SIGNTMP.

  SIGNTMP has the following constraint:

  Constraint
  Description
      Primary Key
  Constraint
        Constraint  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : CST
  Q_QS36F_SIGNTMP_WK
          Type  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : TYPE
  *PRIMARY
          Key . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : KEY
  WKCUS#

  WKITM#

  WKDOCT

  WKDOC#
          Number of fields in key . . . . . . . :
  4
  In the code I have...
          // Write to the work file if not already there
          Chain(n) (p_store: p_item: p_DocumentType: p_Document) signtmp;
          If not %Found(signtmp);
            wkcus# = p_store;
            wkitm# = p_item;
            wkdoct = p_DocumentType;
            wkdoc# = p_Document;
            Write signtm;
          Endif;

  I thought this was pretty solid code but the program still failed.  A new
  record is only written if a record with the same key is not found.

  So my only explanation is that another process wrote a record with the
  same key in between the Chain and the Write.

  Am I missing something of does some have another explanation.

  BTW, I understand that I can add an error extender to the Write and
  capture the error but my question still remains if there's another
  explanation for the failure...

  Thanks for all ideas,

  Robert Rogerson
