Answer / subhash

to the both file we need to add one DUMMY column(value is
like '1', we can use Column generator for this DUMMy column
generation)
then we can JOIN these 2 files based on this DUMMY column.
so, each column of File1 will join with each column of File2
i.e. 5*10= 50 records will come into output.

Answer / datastageboss

The question seems to be incomplte , I am preassuming
that there will be duplicate records in both set of data
on a key say K1

use a join stage , the join type will be full outer join
and key will be K1 ( mentioned above)

At the output link we will receive 5*10 =50 records
