susannahfirst, you need to go to the ibi documentation site and search for articles on match and join. there's a ton of doc. on the subject, specifically comparing the two. Look for articles in the wfnewsletter or in
TABLE FILE CAR, the journal. For a set of, say, 2 files: Join glues together the two files side by side
virtually, Match creates a
physical merger of the pair; Join is instantaneous, Match takes some processing time; Join requires key fields, Match just requires some common fields; They aren't fungible, and which to use depends on your situation. but you need to read the doc.
