You don't do it with a JOIN, but with TABLE FILE and the MORE command.

e.g.
TABLE FILE {Data source 1}
PRINT FIELDs
BY FIELDs
{Filters}
ON TABLE HOLD ...
MORE
FILE {Data source 2}
{Filters}
END


This does rely on the two tables having the same columns specified by the first part of the request.

Any Filters are local to the individual data source.

Hello, Waz from the Past, this is Squatch from the Future.

Could the "same columns" be DEFINE fields?

Yes, done it many times.

As long as the formats in each are the same.
