Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

■ More than one condition can cause this error:
 
  • A unique index is current for an ISAM table, and the user
    attempted to enter a value that is already in the column.
 
  • A CREATEINDEX statement has been executed with a nonzero
    unique argument value, but the existing column(s) already
    contained values that aren't unique.
 
■ Possible solutions:
 
  • Type a unique value in the column.
 
  • Change the column values to eliminate duplicates and retry
    the CREATEINDEX statement.
 
■ If you need additional help, move the cursor to a keyword
  and press F1 to open the Help window.
