This is my code, and it works fine for matching the left file to the right, but
only for VoterIDs that are in both files.
MATCH FILES
/FILE = "F:\External Drive for PSPP
Data\FloridaTotalsFiles\SelectedFields_20241112.sav"/File = "F:\External Drive
for PSPP Data\FloridaTotalsFiles\VoterIDParty_20241022.sav"
/BY VoterID.
SAVE
/OUTFILE =
"F:\External Drive for PSPP
Data\FloridaTotalsFiles\SelectedFieldsWithLastMonParty_20241112.sav".
What is the syntax to make this be a totally open joint. That means that blank
records from both files are also selected when their VoterID exists on the
other file.

The list does not accept images, it is text only. So, to make us
understand your question please copy-paste your syntax.
Thanks.
