As the block is a control block, you can't POST anything and then SELECT from the table because - there's no table.

Therefore, you'll have to scroll through the whole block and compare the latest value with previously entered ones. This is done in a loop.

In a loop (there's no difference whether it is a database or a control block; why do you think that there is - regarding scrolling up and down?).

l_current_number := :block.numeric_item
first_record
loop through all records
  if l_current_item = :block.numeric_item 
     message (error - same numbers)
  end if
  next_record
end loop
