Say you have a record, which gets its data from a file.
TYPE Data IS RECORD
No : Integer;
Name : String(1..20);
END RECORD;
Info: Array (1..10) OF Data;
When you display the record you get:
1111 SomeName
1111 SomeName
1111 SomeName
How is it possible to display just 1 line of 1111 SomeName instead of 3
(Assuming the file has the same info 3 times)?

By writing code to check whether "this" value is the same as the
"previous" value?
Seriously, you've given us so little context that we can't help
you. What does "gets its data from a file" mean? what does "display"
mean?
If this is a student project, ask your teachers.

Also, what does "the same info" mean? Seriously, is "1111 somename"
the same? Is "1111 Some Name" the same? Is "1111 Some J. Name" the
same? For a school assignment you may just be working with "nice"
data, but just be aware that in the real world "the same" can be a
very a messy concept!
Good luck!
Mike

program an appropriate test to remove the duplicates.
