SET UNIQUE
SET UNIQUE determines whether all records with the same key value are
included in the index file.
Syntax
SET UNIQUE on/OFF/(<expL>)
Usage
When you INDEX with UNIQUE ON, Clipper creates an index with uniqueness
as an attribute. As indexing proceeds and two or more records have the
same key value, Clipper includes only the first record in the index.
Whenever the unique index is updated, REINDEXed, or PACKed, only unique
records are added. This happens without regard to the current UNIQUE
SETting.
Note that this differs from previous versions of Clipper where UNIQUE
was a global SETting and applied to the creation and updating of all
open indexes.
