Thanks everyone who answered my question. This question was posed to me in passsing. I also thought that a dupkey condition would be raised, and to use the SORT/MERGE solution. Again, thanks to all that responded.
P.S. Another JEOPARDY question. :-) What is the maximum number of Alternate Indexes(Indices)a KSDS can have? I know that a KSDS can have more than one Alternate.
