Hello,

What should happen when there is a different number of records in the 2 files?

Which sort product does your location use?

I suspect it does matter. . .

Please post an example of file 1 with 5 records and file 2 with 7 records and show how your "overlay" would work.

When we see what you require, we will be better able to offer suggestions.

Keep in mind that while your question is completely clear to you, it may not be to everyone else icon_confused.gif

Hello,

That's a start. From that data, please show what you want the output to look like.

You also did not post the data as requested. You need to show files with a different number of records.

It may help if you post what you need to do rather than how you want to accomplish it.
