Hi Giridhar,

With Join you will join two tables in one table, and with keep you will get two tables, reducing data.

Regards!

Hi,

Join: Merging the records of the two tables as one table. in the QV memory side you will get Only one table

Keep: works same as JOIN but at QV memory side you will get both tables , means using keep we can remain the both tables for other pursose.

Thanks

Hi GIRIDHAR,

you can create this example within of your script and then you can use Join and Keep, on that demonstrative base you will see the difference between Join and Keep

:

Table1:

Load * Inline [

FieldA, FieldB. FieldC

1, A, 1A,

2, B, 2B,

3, C, 3C

];

Join (Table1)

Load * Inline [

FieldA, FieldD. FieldE

2, X, 2X,

3, Y, 3Y,

4, Z, 4Z

];

then you will have a single table, i am sure if you create this example, you Problem will be automatically solved.

Learning by Doing

i hope that helps
