Sequence in Multiple Load Statements

[#1]

Here is what I am doing.

Load * from Where ColName < XXX

//(

Load A, B, C From Table1 inner Join Load A, X, Y from Table 2

//)

I want the entire joining load to execute first before the top level load statement executes.

Currently the top level load executes after just the statement "Load A, B, C From Table1 "

Is there a way to make that happen?

Thanks in advance.

The preceeding load syntax I believe only works with a single source load. So you'll just need to write the loads in a more linear sequence:

[MyTable]:
LOAD A, B, C FROM Table1;
INNER JOIN LOAD A, X, Y FROM Table2;
INNER JOIN LOAD DISTINCT Colname RESIDENT [MyTable] WHERE ColName < XXX;

If performance is a problem, something like this may be faster at the cost of complexity (not certain I have the syntax right):

[MyTable]:
LOAD A, B, C FROM Table1;
INNER JOIN LOAD A, X, Y FROM Table2;
INNER JOIN LOAD ColName WHERE ColName < XXX;
LOAD fieldvalue('ColName',iterno()) as "ColName"
AUTOGENERATE 1 WHILE len(fieldvalue('ColName',iterno()));

Thanks JohnW.

I did your first suggestions but wanted to get clarification

Are you asking for clarification on what the fist bit of script I posted does? How it differs from using a preceeding load? I guess I need clarification on what you want clarification on.
