Combine Batch language command
  A command to merge several data sets into one. If the first argument is 'purge', then all the data sets used in the merge operation will be deleted after the operation is finished. The resulting data set contains all the data from the component data sets as stacked columns, i.e. column 1 is a vertical stack of all columns 1 from the component data sets.
Syntax  DataSet datasetid = Combine(purge,datasetid1,...,datasetidn);
Notes All 'datasetid' must refer to existing data sets. If the number of sites varies from data set to data set, the missing sites will be padded with deletion symbols. 'purge' is optional.
Examples
DataSet ds = Combine(data1,data2,data3);

or

DataSet ds = Combine(purge,data1,data2,data3);
