Normally I merge datasets using a key.  However, in this case I don't have or want a key.  I want to get a new dataset that combines each row from both.  Here's an example with two datasets:

 

Data1:

Fld1:

A

B

 

Data2:

Fld2:

1

2

3

 

I want to get:

Data3:

Fld1: Fld2:

A       1

A       2

A       3

B       1

B       2

B       3

 

How do I achieve this?  Nothing I've tried so far has worked Thanks!
