Warning and Error Output Messages

[Army George]

I merged two files and got these errors when I ran a FREQ of the keyed
variable. What does this mean? I looked but couldn't find a
problem...

File #1

KEY: C0864

>Warning # 5132
>Duplicate key in a file. The BY variables do not uniquely identify each

You intended a "merge"?
That is not what your error messages point to...

I think, a "merge" does not use TABLE= .

As this message says, each case in the file with TABLE=

"must be uniquely identified by the BY variables."

It tells you that K=C0864 is where you have an error,
which is in "File #1"; which seems to be TABLE= .

Does that get you to it?
