specification

1. If Secondary Diagnosis 1 - 10 are all blank, then set Secondary Diagnosis 1 to 0000000.
   

2. If any (non-blank) Secondary Diagnosis codes are duplicated in Secondary Diagnosis 1-10, then examine the affected fields in field number order and leave the first code alone and set all subsequent duplicate codes to blank.
   

3. If any Secondary Diagnosis values are known codes, but Secondary Diagnosis 1 = 0000000 or there are one or more blank fields mixed in with known codes after them, then set Secondary Diagnosis 1 - 10 in field number order with the remaining distinct known codes (in the order the codes are encountered), leaving the blank fields at the end of the list.

And stop here.
