The resulting PCL-file from the merge, will look as per below. Notice that the &&- commands are not printed. Furthermore you will see the effect of the BLOCK defined spool lines, which are formatted according to the total width length of the BLOCK. Unless a NL (New Line) is inserted, blank lines will be ignored and the spool text from each line will be reorganised according to block width and consequently a full justification will be obtained. (Equal left and right margin).
