Since the tables are not related by a foreign key relationship, you can not join them - what you want as a result, is the Cartesian product from the two tables. This is achieved by selecting from both tables without any additional join condition (this is also called a cross join):

mysql> SELECT * FROM userCode, SubMenuId;

This query combines all rows from the first table with all rows from the second table.

+---------+---------+
| usercol | menucol |
+---------+---------+
| AB      | Sub-01  |
| AB      | Sub-02  |
| Alam    | Sub-01  |
| Alam    | Sub-02  |
| CSRL    | Sub-01  |
| CSRL    | Sub-02  |
+---------+---------+

Try this: 

SELECT a.usercol, b.menucol FROM UserCode a JOIN SubMenuID b
