MERGE command

Syntax: (1) MERGE [T##]

(2) MERGE filename[,directory][,starting-line][,ending-line]

Discussion: The MERGE command copies (1) a block of lines, or (2) lines from another file into the current file. Merging is performed only after validation that the space between existing lines is sufficient to accommodate the additional lines.

MERGE never overwrites existing lines.

For information on defining a block of lines, see the help screen on BLOCK and block characters.
