Question AIX : Need help with <join> command in csh

Hi All,

I need your hand to resolve an issue I am facing with a join command in one of the script. Please see the 3 files attached where file1 and file2 are the two files I am passing to the join command written in the command file. Prior to calling the join I am also sorting both the files on the respective columns (1st column in file1 and 4th in the file2). But the join command is returning only one output instead of threeSmilie. You can simply download all the files in your home path and copy & paste commands from the command file on the standard prompt to see the output.
Could you please help me understanding what is stopping the other lines to display please ? If its a length related limitation with AIX join command than I would appreciate an alternative perl command or something suitable.

Regards - Sraj
