Hi all,

am matching on name and registration number. if registration number is missing in one of the record then still i want that records to be included in matchset

example: name reg
abc ltd 1234
abc ltd

i tried with [critical missing ok] on registration field , but i din't get the expected result.

how to do this QS gurus

Many thanks in advance

I would have gone with [critical missing ok] as the VARTYPE as well.

What result did you expect, and what result did you get? Was blocking on name still successful?

Thanks ray for your reply...

i found the problem. i added the registration filed in blocking and i added in critical missing ok.

now took out the registration field from blocking and i got the expected output..

Ah, you didn't mention that you'd also specified it as a blocking field.
