This should work:

Basically ... 

 

- create Input 1

- create Input 2

- join the inputs together based on the timestamp column

- those records that come out the L output should be assigned Flag = 0

- those records that come out the J output should be assigned Flag = 1

- union the 2 streams together.

 

 

It won't be in the order you reported, but if you want that then simply sort based on timestamp
