Handling Duplicate Members Using PARM=MERGE

If the user specifies the same output member (meaning, the same OUTLIB or OUTMEM combination) in more than one block, normally only the results of the last occurrence of that member are saved.

To retain the results of all occurrences of that output member, use the expression PARM=MERGE in the JCL EXEC statement. If you use this statement, the results of each occurrence of the output member are concatenated in the member.

If the OUTMEM parameter is specified using the format OUTMEM=/member-name, the expression PARM=MERGE is ignored for the block.
