I need to add duplicate record checking in a file we received from a
switch.  (I'll just add it to the CL that already FIXES a bunch of stuff
in the file anyways) and was wondering what the best (i.e easy/fast) to
do it would be.  I've come up with:
 
1.  Run a query against the file, sorted by entire record, level break
on entire record, count.  Output Query results to file and then do cpyf.
2.  Build a file keyed on all 210 bytes, read original chain to new
file, if not found write it
3.  SQL ???  not done much with it but maybe it could do?
