Splunk Search

How to combine my two searches and create a time chart with the resulting data?

I have to add 2 searches. Each search's output is FileName and Time....and I have to create a graph with the 2 types of file counts against time.

I used the search below:

index=MyIndex  (   (filename=PNASC.HRBDT.*)   OR   (filename=PNASC.MBRETRAN.*) ) status=1 |rename filename as FileNameA, _time as Time | table "FileNameA" status
append status [ search index=MyIndex   (  (filename=CFCF.GRP*.txt)   OR  (filename=CFCF.MBR*.txt) )   status=1 |rename filename as "FileNameB", _time as Time |table "FileNameB" status
] timechart span=1d count("FileNameA") count("FileNameB")

but getting errors

tried Join too, but I don't have any common field with same values.

Try like this (assuming all data lies in same MyIndex)

index=MyIndex   filename=PNASC.HRBDT.* OR   filename=PNASC.MBRETRAN.* OR filename=CFCF.GRP*.txt OR  filename=CFCF.MBR*.txt status=1 | eval Type=if(like(filename,"PNASC.HRBDT.%") OR like(filename,"PNASC.MBRETRAN.%"),"FileNameA","FileNameB")
| timechart span=1d count by Type
