SORT-MERGE/XL General Users Guide

Initiating an Interactive MERGE/XL Session 

After you create and sort the editor file containing the data to be
merged with other files, begin an interactive session using the MERGE/XL
subsystem.  At the MPE XL colon prompt (:), enter:

          :MERGE    

This accesses the MERGE/XL subsystem and makes the capabilities of the
program MERGE.PUB.SYS available to you.  The ability to run a program,
such as MERGE.PUB.SYS, without explicitly using the MPE XL :RUN command
is called an Implied :RUN. You can use the :RUN command (:RUN 
MERGE.PUB.SYS) or simply enter :MERGE to access the subsystem.

The MERGE/XL header appears, followed by the subsystem chevron prompt
(>):

          HP32214A.01.00  MERGE/3000 WED, JUN  3, 1987, 11:45 AM
          (c) HEWLETT-PACKARD CO. 1986

          >

You are now in the MERGE/XL subsystem and can enter MERGE/XL commands at
the chevron prompt (>).
