The reason why this query shows several entries for ''distinct test'' is that the uniqueness requirement refers to the <u>combination of referring page and referred page</u>. Note that a referring page might contain several references to the same page (which you wouldn´t want to see in the listing). DPL offers a variable named %PAGESEL% which shows the referring page. If we add that variable to the example we see why there are several occurencies of ''distinct test'' in the output:

If we set distinct=strict we will only get one result. Note that the value of %PAGESEL% in this case will be not useful.

The reason why this query shows several entries for distinct test is that the uniqueness requirement refers to the combination of referring page and referred page. Note that a referring page might contain several references to the same page (which you wouldn´t want to see in the listing). DPL offers a variable named %PAGESEL% which shows the referring page. If we add that variable to the example we see why there are several occurencies of distinct test in the output:

If we set distinct=strict we will only get one result. Note that the value of %PAGESEL% in this case will be not useful.
