Subject:      Finding duplicate responses in a Variable

Hi all,
        I am trying to merge files, but I find that one of my files has duplicate
responses in the ID variable (i.e.  ID # 256 occurs twice) - when this
simply must be an error.  I am interested in looking at these duplicates on
a case by case basis.  I could do so with a Frequency table, but, with over
8000 cases, looking for "2's" in a long list of "1's" is too difficult for
my eyes & time consuming.  Does anyone know of a better way than running
frequencies?  I'd appreciate your help.

Jessica
