2381.0. "Merge directives in Merge_list" by KAOFS::M_FETT (alias Mrs.Barney) Mon Mar 08 1993 21:20

    I am Merge/Merge_list ignorant and would like a few pointers.
    Having stumbled through a customer example I have a question:
    would Merge directives i.e. specifying field length <field:leng>
    and <&tab> work in a Merge_list operation?
    
    Doesn't seem to work the way I'm doing it........
    
    and the customer, who seems to have more experience, complains 
    it doesn't work either.
    
    Help?

	Monica, sorry, but the <&TAB> and <DATASET.FIELD[KEY]> type entries do not work in MERGE_LIST operations. You can only include fields from the list file. The MERGE function _can_ use these entries. What are you actually trying to do? Is the MERGE_LIST essential for some reason? mb

Monica,

What are you actually trying to do? Is the MERGE_LIST essential for
some reason?
