As shown in the below code, my requirement is that I want to check whether EMPMARK occurring from 1 to 1000 has same values or not. If all the fields has same value,
I will set a flag, else i will not. Can anyone let me know the best approach/logic to find out whether all the fields has same value?

Some complex suggestions where IF EMPMARK(1) = EMPMARK(2) = EMPMARK(3) .......... = EMPMARK(1000)

Check first value to second: if the same, loop checking each value to first value, stopping just before you fall off the table or when you get a mismatch; if not the same, they're not the sane,

There is a way to do it other than that, but I think you and your colleagues will be happier about having an explicit loop that does it.
