MERGE Control Statement

The MERGE function must be used for reloading the actual SYSOUT data from secondary disk storage.

Note:

• The COPY and LOAD functions copy the index information about the SYSOUT groups on secondary disk storage.
• Be aware that COPY and LOAD merely transfer ownership of the secondary disk storage data that is already archived.

  It is the MERGE that actually reloads the data to another Secondary disk device.

• In addition to merging multiple databases together, you can use the merge control statement to:
  • Replace one type of secondary disk.
  • Consolidate the archived secondary disk storage.
  • Replace secondary disk storage with primary disk storage.
