Process Overview
Join two sorted files on designated keyfields. Matching input fields and all records are output.
This process belongs to a group of four similar ones within the Datamine process collection; JOIN, SUBJOI, WEAVE and SUBWVE. Each provides a different outcome, as described by the following diagram:

KEYTOL |
KEYTOL is the tolerance value used to test whether numeric key values are equal. It must be greater than or equal to zero. It replaces the previous heuristic comparison method. If KEYTOL is set to a negative value then zero is used. In a macro KEYTOL can be set to absent using -. "@KEYTOL=-" This will revert to legacy behaviour and use a heuristic comparison in relational commands and zero in sort. |
