Vijay,
   I think the "paste" command in the shell is what you want:

:print file1
123
456
789
:print file2
aaa
bbb
ccc
:paste.hpbin.sys "FILE1 FILE2"
123     aaa
456     bbb
789     ccc

Note the filenames must be uppercase since paste is a POSIX program and
expects uppercase filenames for MPE type files.

You can redirect the output from this to a new file to save the results:

:build newfile;rec=-80,,f,ascii;disc=3
:file out=newfile,old 

:paste.hpbin.sys "FILE1 FILE2"  > *out
:print newfile
123     aaa
456     bbb
789     ccc

Subject: merging two files.

 I am struggling to write a job which can merge two files.

The functionality I am looking for is like below:

contents of File1.pub

aaa
bbb
ccc

contents of File2. pub

123
456
789

I want to write a job, which has to merge the files and create a new
file called file3.pub like belo

aaa|123
bbb|456
ccc|789

Any pointers will be of great help.
