Operation 

   THE KEYWORDED DATA FOR THE NEW PROBLEM IS COMPARED AGAINST
   THAT OF EACH PROBLEM ALREADY KNOWN TO THE SYSTEM AND ANY
   EXACT MATCHES ARE CONSIDERED DUPLICATE PROBLEMS.
   THE USER IS INFORMED OF THE PROBLEM NUMBER, STATUS, AND PTF
   OF EACH DUPLICATE PROBLEM UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 10.

   DETERMINING AN EXACT DUPLICATE.
   EACH KYWD PLUS DATA IN THE NEW PROBLEM IS COMPARED AGAINST
   ALL KYWDS PLUS DATA FOR EACH OLD PROBLEM. THE OLD PROBLEM
   KEYWORDS ARE OBTAINED FROM THE SYMPTOM SUMMARY FILE. IF A
   MATCH IS NOT FOUND FOR A GIVEN KEYWORD THAT OLD PROBLEM IS
   CONSIDERED NOT TO BE A MATCH AND THE PROCESSING CONTINUES
   WITH THE NEXT PROBLEM FOUND IN THE SYMPTOM SUMMARY FILE.
   WHEN THE PROBLEM NO. OF THE NEXT OLD PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS
   THAT OF THE NEW PROBLEM THE SEARCH IS CONSIDERED TO BE DONE
   (THE NEW PROB HAS ALREADY BEEN ADDED TO THE SYMPTOM SUMMARY
   FILE).
