How to Use JOIN The JOIN command is intended to be used with textual material rather
than source program lines.
JOIN retains any leading (that is, left-side) indentation.
JOIN stops filling lines when it encounters a blank line. However, if a
blank line is contained within a specified range of lines, JOIN resumes
filling lines at the next nonblank line. JOIN continues to fill lines until it
reaches the last line in the range.
Example Study the following example:
*SET JOIN 55; LIST 2072/LAST
2072 The JOIN command is
2073 intended to be used
2074 with textual
2075 material rather than
2076 source program
2077 lines.
2078
2079 1. The JOIN command
2080 treats a
2081 contiguous block
2082 of nonblank
2083 lines as a
2084 paragraph.
2085 Indentation is
2086 retained.

*JOIN 2072/LAST WIDTH 40
2072 The JOIN command is intended to be used
2074 with textual material rather than source
2076 program lines.
