- 1240Dear ^,
- 1260
- @1280[This letter is an example of the use of the MERGE command
- >1300to merge names, addresses, and data into a letter from a
- I1320BASIC program. The File contains records of variable length but up
- G1340to 250 bytes long. Each record is broken up into substrings by a
- B1360+ sign. The substring is merged into the letter anywhere an
- J1380up-arrow is found. The data will be inserted here -^- for instance.
- G1400If there are more substrings than up-arrows, the extra substrings
- C1420will be ignored so that each letter begins with a new record.
- B1440If there are fewer substrings than up-arrows, the additional
- >1460up-arrows will be ignored like this^ and not be printed.
- >1480The text must be arranged so that the inserted data fits
- 71500on one line and does not span two ore more lines.
- F1520You do not have to use the REPEAT command since the program will
- >1540automatically print one copy for each record in the file
- >1560and stop at the end. If you enter control-C to stop the
- '1580printing or to rerun it, you must
- '1600enter MERGE again with the proper
- F1620file name and before you can print again. There must not be any
- M1640numeric data in the file...only strings less than 256 characters long.]
