Hi,
I am not able to format the extract according to my requirement...I want in the duplicate output as
Duplicate record from File A and the matched record from file B one below the other in the same file.
How do I achieve that....I select in the extract output for Match and DupA as the output file but the expected requirement is not coming...Please suggest me a solution...Its really urgent...

Thanks,
Saad Mirza

Use UNDUP as the option at Match stage.

UNDUP is a one-file match. Use a two-file match if there exists a one-to-one relationship between the rows in the two files, or use a GEOMATCH if the relationship is one-to-many.

Saad, Please post examples of what you've got as source, what you expect to get as result, what you're actually getting as output and why that doesn't meet your expectations. Which kind of match process are you specifying? Also have you performed any investigation or conditioning (standardization) on the source data?
Would you consider reformatting the data such that file B was appended to file A, and performing an UNDUP on the single file? This may be more convenient if there are non-matching rows.
