 {

$session = $entity->GetSession();

$cnt = $duplicateLinkList->Count();

 # Output the IDs of the parent/child records

for ($i = 0; $i<$cnt; $i++) 

{

   $itm = $duplicateLinkList->Item($i);

  $duplicateObj = $itm->GetChildEntity();

  $session->OutputDebugString("Parent ID:".$originalID." child
       Id:"$duplicateID);
