Merge - Blank Lines When Using ? To "Skip If |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Even though the primary file was formatted with question marks (?) to eliminate the blank fields, extra blank lines appeared in a completed merge file. Solutions: The primary and secondary files were formatted with field names. The user found that they had named the possibly blank field with a question mark. Changing the name to something other than a question mark eliminated the extra blank lines. For example, field one was named One, field two (the possible blank field) was named ?, and field three was named Three. {FIELD NAMES}one~?~three~~{END RECORD} Changing the name of the second field to "question," or anything other than ?, corrected the merging problem. {FIELD NAMES}one~question~three~~{END RECORD} *This information is given strictly as a troubleshooting option. |
