Use an EDIT item LOOKUP NOTON. With the appropriate settings, you can either
have QTP fail or skip to the next transaction and simply report the error.

Subject: Unique Key in Image detail set - QTP


Does anyone know of a *simple* , *efficient*, technique for enforcing a
unique key in an Image detail set using QTP (ie. without modifying an
existing data base structure or using multiple requests)?

I believe that while you can specify a key as unique withing an Image detail
set in PDL, Image does not actually support this feature, and therefore QTP
will add second and subsequent records to a detail set with the same key.

I have a QTP run where the key item value of the Output file is calculated
in a temporary item based on values in the input files. I would like QTP to
fail if it attempts to add a record to an Image detail set using a
non-unique key.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
