ending delimiter. Trailing spaces and multiple imbedded spaces are removed from field names. If the end of a
line is encountered before the field name ending delimiter, the name is ended at the end of the line.
Special directives are included to allow control of mail-merge functions. These directives allow the field name
delimiters to be changed and allow text substitution to be disabled or enabled. These directives all start with
"# # " as the first non-white space on the line.
MERGE_DISABLE
Format:
# # MERGE_DISABLE [DELETE | NODELETE]
Description: This directive disables text substitution. The optional parameter indicates whether field
names should be deleted or should be unprocessed. If DELETE is specified, all field names found in the
document are treated as if no value were returned by the database. If the parameter is not specified or
NODELETE is specified, no modifications are made to the document. This directive remains in force from
where it appears until a MERGE_ENABLE directive. The initial state of this option for each document
transmitted is set by the system manager when the FAX system is installed.
MERGE_EN ABLE
Description:
This directive enables mail-merge text substitution. This directive remains in force from
where it appears until a MERGE_DISABLE directive. The initial state of this option for each document
transmitted is set by the system manager when the FAX system is installed.
MERGE_EN D
Format:
# # MERGE_END "cccc"
Description: This directive defines the string used to end field names and may be from 1 to 4 characters
in length. Spaces and TABs are not allowed. This string is not part of the field name itself. The initial ending
delimiter is "%%". This directive remains in force until another # # MERGE_END directive is encountered.
MERGE_START
Format:
# # MERGE_START "cccc"
Description: This directive defines the string used to begin field names and may be from 1 to 4 characters
in length. Spaces and TABs are not allowed. This string is not part of the field name itself. The initial starting
delimiter is "%%". This directive remains in force until another # # MERGE_START directive is
encountered.
