Here's a tried and true method (which ignores the question of why PROV#
is 10 char in one file and 12 char in the other.)
;;Pass 1
ACCESS *TOP50Z2
DEFINE SERV-CNT CHA*10 = ""
DEFINE AMTPAY = 0
DEFINE ER-LOC = 0 ... also the other fields in TOP50M
SET SUBFILE NAME JUNKFILE
REPORT SUMMARY ALL
GO
;; Pass 2
ACCESS *TOP50M
DEFINE RANK CHA*3 = ""
SET SUBFILE NAME JUNKFILE APPEND
REPORT SUMMARY PROV# RANK SERV-CNT AMTPAY ER-LOC ... all fields, in the
same order as the first pass
GO
;; Pass 3
ACCESS *JUNKFILE
SORT ON PROV#
SET SUBFILE AT PROV# NAME TOP100
REPORT SUMMARY &
PROV# &
RANK MAXIMUM &
SERV-CNT SUBTOTAL &
AMTPAY SUBTOTAL &
ER-LOC SUBTOTAL ... etc.
GO
This subfile TOP100 will give you all the items of both files, which
I think is why you want to link them.
Another method: with version 7.2 & later, you could create an indexed
subfile of each, and link the indexes.
