Read the section of the manual on MATCH FILE. It's easy to achieve what you want with MATCH logic.
I could write the code for you but you won't learn anything that way.

Just to clarify what is being suggested (MATCH) is done via App Studio and not in IA +. Union is not an option with that tool.


Thank you for using Focal Point!

You could, possibly, perform something similar to a UNION in IA+ by doing a TABLE ... HOLD AS PART1... TABLE ... HOLD AS PART2... then JOINing those two HOLD files to get your results.

But, as FP Mod Chuck said "Union is not an option with that tool." (IA+)

You could, possibly, perform something similar to a UNION in IA+ by doing a TABLE FILE FILE1 ... RUN FILE2 ... RUN FILE3 ...

The only caveat is that all files need the same structure.

Check out the use of MORE which more directly replicates UNION.
