MERGE Control Statement

The syntax of the MERGE control statement is as follows:

Syntax:

MERGE tape-index driver parameters

where:

tape-index

Specifies the high-level naming prefix to be set for the TAPEIDX initialization parameter.

If omitted, TAPEIDX is set to the name of the output database.

driver

Specifies the required name of the secondary disk storage driver.

This name must be the same as the one specified by the DSK2DRVR initialization parameter. Specify SARD2D0x for the optical disk driver you have purchased. Replace the x with the driver number described in Driver Names and Types earlier in this chapter.

parameters

Specifies the required unit name and volume serial number range for the secondary disk storage driver as defined by the DSK2PARM initialization parameter.

The parameters are required when you specify a driver name.

• For the Kodak Optistar Report-Level Driver, the format of this operand is: unit/volser1/volser2

Note: For more information about these identifiers, see the section DSK2PARM: Kodak Optistar Report-Level Driver earlier in this chapter.

• For the Kodak Optistar Page-Level Driver, the format of this operand is: unit/volser1/volser2/ssid

Note: For more information about these identifiers, see the section DSK2PARM: IBM Page-Level Driver for Models 131, 132, 133 earlier in this chapter.

• For the IBM DASD Emulation Optical Driver, the format of this operand is: index/unit/blksize

Note: For more information about these identifiers, see the section DSK2PARM: IBM Page Level Driver for Models 131, 132, 133 earlier in this chapter.
