{QUIT} Command Appearing To Not Working As ^Q

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

Problem

Symptoms: The {QUIT} command in programmable merge appears to not work the same as the ^Q in 5.0 merge. Should it? In 5.0, the records up to the ^Q are merged. In 5.1, the {QUIT} is ignored and all records are merged unless it is placed after the {END RECORD} command. Solutions: The {QUIT} command is designed to work in the same way as the ^Q in 5.0. The reason {QUIT} did not work for this customer is because they entered it in a field in the secondary file that did not exist in any other record. (It was in the 5th field and all other records only had 4 fields.) The field was not only different that all other records but it was missing a ^R or {END FIELD} code. The problems in the secondary file were made even worse with the fact that the primary file did not even reference this field and therefore did not ask for it.

Any other problems with the {QUIT} command may be corrected by placing a {PROCESS} command before and after it.
