ON ERROR com_message=message()
comAlias=ALIAS()
SET SAFETY OFF
SELECT GPB_ID,cont_id FROM (comAlias) GROUP BY 1,2 INTO TABLE "C:\unique.dbf" readwrite
USE
USE ("C:\unique.dbf") IN 0 ALIAS "unique"
SELECT(comAlias)
	INDEX ON allt(cont_id)+allt(GPB_ID) tag mytag
SELECT ("unique")
	alter table alias() add column sequence c(7)
	replace sequence with &comAlias..sequence for SEEK(allt(cont_id)+allt(GPB_ID),comAlias)
SELECT ("unique")
	INDEX ON allt(sequence)+allt(GPB_ID) tag mytag
SELECT(comAlias)
	replace Pkgmark_ with "*" for SEEK(allt(sequence)+allt(GPB_ID)  ,"unique")
USE IN IIF(USED("unique"),SELECT("unique"),0)

This will add the * in the Pkgmark_ field for package breaks on non-packaged-based mailings.
