COUNT ME IN as old-school; saw my first computer in xmas break in 1950
at
The IBM service bureau.

I now have this thing down to two files; file A can have more than one
row per ssn;  FILE B has only one row per ssn.  I need to join them so
that each and every row in A has its' corresponding info from B. Many
times I've tried
This with JOIN with remarkable lack of success.  Also match seems to
work
Sometimes in this situation.

Any suggestions?

Robert,

You may also use the SET BYDISPLAY =3D ON.  This forces FOCUS to show =
the
value of the BY phrases on each row.  I think this was mainly added for
Excel but it works for all output formats.  This was added in WebFOCUS
4.3.6(?) I think.

Harry's way will also work.  That's the old school way of accomplishing
the
same result.  No insult intended. :)

Robert,

>> Another thing; is there a way to make focus list every value in each

STU_ID     FUND         EFC  OFFER_BAL  ROW    AMT1 cOL1   HOUSING
------     ----         ---  ---------  ---    ----  ----   -------

<snip>
I need to get stu_id to appear in each and every row and have never
Figured out how to do it . . .

Try

PRINT STU_ID FUND EFC OFFER_BAL ROW AMT1 cOL1 HOUSING
BY STU_ID NOPRINT BY FUND NOPRINT etc.
