The DUPLICATE() statement has two states.  If you do a GET(file,0) 
before calling DUPLICATE() it tests if the current record buffer would 
fail on an ADD() call.  If no GET(file,0) is issued it tests if a PUT() 
would fail.  The only one of these options that work with SQL systems 
is the ADD test.  It also works when doing the PUT test for the primary 
key.  The PUT test fails if you have a primary key and another unique 
key and you are changing the component of the unique (but non-primary) 
key.
