Yes it is.

you can use concatenate

T1:

load * from T1

concatenate

load * from T2.

But i doubt it will give you something interesting.

I would rather join tables on common fields (may be revcode = doctorkey?)

It seems like table 3 is the same as table 1 but with one additional field doctorkey. You can't add only this field from table 2 because you need one more field to make a join.

Your Table3 has the same set of fields as table Doctors. Therefore it automatically concatenates to existing Doctors table instead of creating a new table. You need to use NOCONCATENATE or make field set (or names) different in Doctors and Table3.

Table3:

NOCONCATENATE LOAD Location,CDK Resident Doctors;

Hai Dmitry,

Actually my requirement is, doctorskey is not their in table2, so inorder to bring the doctorkey column into table2 , I am creating a table3 by joing table1 and table2.  I Have written the script as above now it is not giving any error, but the table is not created can you say me how to create the table3 from the table1 and table 2

Table3:

LOAD Location,CDK Resident Doctors;

Join

LOAD Location,adm,pat_type,adm_date,phys_name,rev_code,Charge_Number,ATTEND_DOCT_NO Resident [ACP Detail Charges];

I have taken common field Location from both the tables but,the table is not created ,can you say why the table is not being created .

regards

CDK is the doctorkey in the doctors table.

You can't join CDK by Location as Location has only 3 values and CDK has 1258 values. You need another key field instead of Location which will be unique for each CDK value and will be present in both tables. Otherwise join makes no sense.

Yes, I have taken Doctorname in the doctors table1 and physname(table2) and

I have checked it. their is no error but table is not created .

Dmetry, I have another doubt. once you check the data in the ACP detail charges table. many records are repeating for ten times, can you say how to avoid it,
