Examples

   1.$ MERGE/KEY=(SIZE:4,POSITION:3)/NOCHECK_SEQUENCE  PRICE1.DAT, -
     _$ PRICE2.DAT PRICE.LIS

     The /NOCHECK_SEQUENCE qualifier specifies that the sequence
     of the input files, PRICE1.DAT and PRICE2.DAT does need not
     be checked. (Checking is not necessary because the records
     in those files are sorted on the same key and the sequence of
     records is correct.)

   2.$ MERGE/SPECIFICATION=PAYROLL.SRT/CHECK_SEQUENCE -
     _$ MAY3.DAT,MAY10.DAT,MAY17.DAT,MAY24.DAT TOTAL.LIS

     In this example, the specification file, PAYROLL.SRT includes
     the /NOCHECK_SEQUENCE qualifier. The /CHECK_SEQUENCE qualifier
     on the MERGE command line is necessary to override the
     /NOCHECK_SEQUENCE qualifier in the specification file. The
     sequence of records in the four input files are to be checked.
