# NoConcatenate

The NoConcatenate prefix forces two loaded tables with identical field sets to be treated as two separate internal tables, when they would otherwise be automatically concatenated.

Syntax:

NoConcatenate( loadstatement | selectstatement )

Example:

`LOAD A,B from file1.csv;` `NoConcatenate LOAD  A,B 
 from file2.csv;`
