Search for and prevent duplicate keys on segment save

Control break code generation breaks down when two different elements are assigned the same key letter by the developer. This is usually when a called segment within the parent segment has a new letter assigned or changed and the developer does not drill up or down enough to realize the letter is already used.
We would like the tool to search called segments for duplicate keys when the developer saves a change to the -CE tab of a segment and alert/prevent the developer from saving the change.
