Relevant CSV files are in ticket

Description

When using the Discount Code Generator tool, parameters can be set such that the code generator cannot produce all unique codes and there is no error messaging to suggest there was a problem yielding the codes.

In IMPEX, if you set the quantity of discount codes to 100, the amount of characters for each generated code to 5, and set the prefix to something like "Test", the generator will produce a CSV file with 100 codes but there will be duplicates, and there is no error message to suggest that the operation wasn't possible.

Expected Behavior

When using the discount code generator, if the parameters set make it impossible for the generator to perform its function, then an error message should be generated.

Current Behavior

If you set parameters that make it impossible for the generator to perform its function, the generator yields the CSV with no indication that there are duplicate values.

Customer would like for there to be some indication that the process didn't actually do what it claims it did.
