I am trying to use Developer Studio and one of the tools available to take records from one table and add them to another table. I have 20 with Name and Address in Table A and I have 50 with Name and Address in Table B. I need my result to be Table C with Name and Address (containing 70 rows of data). I have tried the Match tool and have had zero luck. Any ideas? Thank you. Andrea

Use the MORE command, i.e. Universal Concatenation. You need to read up on it to understand the restrictions.

Create the first part using File A and put the data in a hold file. You'll have to add the MORE part in the editor. Then open the hold file in the painter to do the styling, etc.

More will only work if your files are in the same format. Try creating a dummy field in each table and then match on Name and Address. This will give you a file with Name, Address, SP, SP:

 
DEFINE FILE A
SP/A1=' ';
END
DEFINE FILE B
SP/A1=' ';
END
MATCH FILE A
SUM SP
BY NAME
BY ADDRESS
RUN
FILE B
SUM SP
BY NAME
BY ADDRESS
AFTER MATCH HOLD OLD-OR-NEW
END
 

Thank you - the MATCH module in the Report Painter tool has worked successfully.

Problem Solved. Thank you.
