Merge Source (MRGSRC)

This command allows you to merge updates from maintenance file members into target file members.

You provide the MRGSRC command with the names of the following source files:

Root: The original version of the source file, on which the updates are based
Maintenance: The source file containing the updates to be merged into the target file
Target: The source file into which the updates from the maintenance file are merged

The MRGSRC command compares each target member and maintenance member with its corresponding root member. The results of these comparisons are used to determine the updates that have occurred.

*CURLIB: Use the current library.
library-name: Use the specified library.
file-name: Use the specified file.

Target member (TGTMBR)

Specifies the member into which the maintenance updates are merged.

*ALL: Select all members.
member-name: Select the specified member.

Maintenance file (MAINTFILE)

Specifies the source physical file containing the updates to merge.

*LIBL: Use the library list.
*CURLIB: Use the current library.
library-name: Use the specified library.
*TARGET: Use the file specified for the target file.
file-name: Use the specified file.

Maintenance member (MAINTMBR)

Specifies the member containing the updates to merge.

*TARGET: Select the same member as is specified for the TGTMBR keyword.
member-name: Select the specified member.

Root file (ROOTFILE)

Specifies the source file on which the merge process is based.

*LIBL: Use the library list.
*CURLIB: Use the current library.
library-name: Use the specified library.
*MAINT: Use the file specified for the maintenance file.
file-name: Use the specified file.

Root member (ROOTMBR)

Specifies the source file member on which the merge process is based.

*MAINT: Select the same member as is specified for the MAINTMBR parameter. This parameter is required if TGTMBR(*ALL) is specified.
member-name: Select the specified member.

Select updates (SELECT)

Specifies whether to show the Split Merge display for selecting the maintenance updates.

*YES: Show the Split Merge display so that you can select the maintenance updates to merge into the target member. No report is generated.
*NO: Do not show the Split Merge display, and print a Merge Summary report.

Report only (RPTONLY)

Indicates whether to merge the maintenance updates into the target member or just print a Merge Summary report to show the scope of the updates.

*NO: Perform the merge and print a Merge Summary report.
*YES: Print the Merge Summary report without performing the merge.
