Use the pxEreplace() function (which you can find on DSXchange) or upgrade to version 9.1 and use Ereplace() or Change() function.

Note that the Data Rules stage is not for QualityStage rules. It is for data rules created in Information Analyzer (or within the Data Rules stage itself).

Note that versions 8.7 and later do not ship with full documentation; you have to download that separately if you require it. This is to reduce the overall size of the main software download. There is no extra fee for downloading the documentation.

Two left outer joins would seem to me to be a better solution, as inner joins return only those keys that occur in both sources. (Database 101)

A single full outer join may suffice for your requirement.
