Merge identifiers
The merge identifier determines what is done with the field in the record during the merge process.
The table below lists the valid values for the merge identifier:
Value Meaning
0
read this field but do not merge it.
1 read this field and merge it.
3 do not read this field but merge it.
Any other value is undefined and will result in an error being returned.
NOTE: A working knowledge of the internal structure of the PLU file is required to use merge-
identifier type number 3. This feature was provided for backwards compatibility, and all fields
may be written out and read back without using this particular option.
