STAR JOIN without unique identifier

dp1g08
Hi,

Me again. I'm having a few issues with the STAR JOIN command (add variables), and I think it's probably due to some values for the identifier appearing on more than one row in the merge-to datafile. Is there a way of running STAR JOIN whereby unique identifiers are not required?

Cheers

The files specified on JOIN cannot contain duplicate keys. The files specified on FROM cannot.
