PENM - CHECK

Duplicate PEID Name Checking
If this common code is active, the PE Update screen will check for duplicate names upon entry in "Add" mode or changing the name in "View" mode. If a name match is found, regardless of case, the user will be blocked from adding the new PEID. The error message will identify the number of matching entries and the reason from the block. A "Find" may then be executed to locate all the offending entries or the user may continue entering the PEID by pressing enter again.
