I suspect you may actually mean 'in DS EE' or PX. And what do you mean by 'functions'?

If 'function' means stage, you'll find is there is no 'Join' stage in Server and that the 'Merge' stage is used to merge two flat files, a completely different operation from what the like named stage in EE performs.

Just to make life complicated, what the Merge stage does in server jobs is to join two flat files!

Ack! Too true.
