M204.1701
M204.1701 Non-unique value token found for field token2 in record number token3; conflicts with record number token4
Model 204 has detected a uniqueness conflict while processing a REDEFINE FIELD command, UNIQUE command, or the index update portion of a FILELOAD command. Processing continues so that all conflicts that exist may be reported. In the case of REDEFINE, the REDEFINE operation is undone. In the case of the Z and FILELOAD commands, the file is marked physically inconsistent.
Response: Take steps to resolve uniqueness conflicts, either by altering input data where appropriate, or by deleting duplicate records or fields. Then reissue the command.
