Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 8:29:04 PM

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Using ?~ in primary files will cause a blank line in the merged document. The customer wants to write one primary file to use it with several secondary files, some having 3 fields and others having 4. When field 4 is blank, the merge inserts a blank line. The customer also tried {IF BLANK}~, but got the same results. Solutions: Using the ?~ in a field name will cause a blank line as it did in WordPerfect 5.0. WordPerfect 5.1 is programmable which allows a user to use {IF NOT BLANK}#~{FIELD}#~[Hrt]{END IF} to eliminate blank lines.
