Hello,
I have two sets of data with the same columns and names.

How to I combine them into one result set?

I've tried a left outer join, MORE, and USE and can't seem to get any of them to work.

If you have the same columns and such I'm not sure why MORE wouldn't work:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
     CAR.BODY.BODYTYPE
     CAR.BODY.SEATS
     CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
BY  LOWEST CAR.CARREC.MODEL
WHERE CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND';
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD_ENGLAND FORMAT FOCUS
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
     CAR.BODY.BODYTYPE
     CAR.BODY.SEATS
     CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
BY  LOWEST CAR.CARREC.MODEL
WHERE CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY EQ 'ITALY';
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD_ITALY FORMAT FOCUS
END

TABLE FILE HOLD_ENGLAND
PRINT 
     HOLD_ENGLAND.SEG01.MODEL
     HOLD_ENGLAND.SEG01.BODYTYPE
     HOLD_ENGLAND.SEG01.SEATS
     HOLD_ENGLAND.SEG01.DEALER_COST
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD_ALL
MORE
FILE HOLD_ITALY
END

TABLE FILE HOLD_ALL
PRINT 
     HOLD_ALL.HOLD_ALL.MODEL
     HOLD_ALL.HOLD_ALL.BODYTYPE
     HOLD_ALL.HOLD_ALL.SEATS
     HOLD_ALL.HOLD_ALL.DEALER_COST
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD 
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

Ditto with MORE.

Also you could HOLD FORMAT ALPHA

FILEDEF ... (APPEND

AND SAVE

Oh and you could also use ANSI SQL with UNION on your hold files

Thank you

The Merge did work. I was not doing a on table hold as Hold_All portion.
Once I added that third Hold_All then it worked fine.
