The MERGE command makes it possible for you to process data from several files by combining information from several performance data files into one PCA performance data file. You can use the MERGE command to combine several PCA performance data files or to combine data extracted from several SPM data files into one PCA data file. This allows you to process and display the PC sampling data collected by SPM (Software Performance Measurement). Merged data is always appended to the currently opened performance data file.
