MERGE Command Operand Restrictions

Since the operands for the MERGE command are positional, specify an asterisk to indicate the omission of the tape-index operand when you code the driver and parameters operands.

To prevent conflicts with any existing archive tapes, MERGE requires that the high-level naming prefix for tapes be different from those for any other tapes defined in the input databases.
