Hello,

Is there an idiom to enrich a file with another file ...
1. ... if the reference file is not too large ?
2. ... if the reference file is very large ?

- For a "not too large" reference, I had done it with a "LOOKUP ... DETAIL ALLMASTER PAIRWISE" + "JOIN" + "SPEC", but is there a better way ? - For a "very large reference", I'll try and use a "COLLATE", but it has no "PAIRWISE" option, so I'd try and prefix each file with a different character before collating, and work the result. But that seems complex. Any simple idea ?

Example of what I want :

FIRST INPUT FILE :
AA1aa
BB2bb
CC2cc
DD3dd

SECOND INPUT FILE (the reference : keys -> values) :
1One
2Two
3Three

OUTPUT FILE :
AAOne   aa
BBTwo   bb
CCTwo   cc
DDThree dd

Thanks
Michaël
