Hi,

The second index failed because of dups found.  You will need to check the
data and correct them before creating the index.  
The following should tell you which ones have dupl. values and how many
occured:

SELECT ACCTNO,PAYGRP,count(*)  from SPY_ADHOC_PAYMENT group by ACCTNO,PAYGRP
having count(*) > 1;

HTH,
Ross
