advanced joining/grouping

Hi everybody,

Again a question about joining and grouping. I have the following case. There are 2 tables which contain data. Both are filled from several companies so I use a loop to fill them. These to tables need to be joined but first a group by needs to be executed on the first table. After the join the table needs another group by. So in script I have the following.

First Load both tables and group the first.

Files [X Y]

for i = 1:n

Let vFile Files(i)

TableA

LOAD

      Field1

      Field2

GroupBy

     Field 1

LOAD

     Field1

     Field2

From DatabaseA$(vFile)

TableB

LOAD

     Field1

     Field3

From DatabaseA$(vFile)

NEXT

Join both tables based on Field1

LEFT JOIN (TableA) LOAD

     *

RESIDENT

     TableB

Group the joined table based on Field2

LOAD

     Field2

     Field3

RESIDENT

     TableA

GROUP BY Field2

I would rather make my script a little bit more compact and I'm sure this is possible but somehow the joining within the loop gives all types of problems. Any suggestions?
