ending delimiter. Trailing spaces and multiple imbedded spaces are removed from field names. If the end of a line is encountered before the field name ending delimiter, the name is ended at the end of the line.

Special directives are included to allow control of mail-merge functions. These directives allow the field name delimiters to be changed and allow text substitution to be disabled or enabled. These directives all start with "# # " as the first non-white space on the line.

MERGE_DISABLE

Format: # # MERGE_DISABLE [DELETE NODELETE]

Description: This directive disables text substitution. The optional parameter indicates whether field names should be deleted or should be unprocessed. If DELETE is specified, all field names found in the document are treated as if no value were returned by the database. If the parameter is not specified or NODELETE is specified, no modifications are made to the document. This directive remains in force from where it appears until a MERGE_ENABLE directive. The initial state of this option for each document transmitted is set by the system manager when the FAX system is installed.

MERGE_EN ABLE

Description: This directive enables mail-merge text substitution. This directive remains in force from where it appears until a MERGE_DISABLE directive. The initial state of this option for each document transmitted is set by the system manager when the FAX system is installed.

MERGE_EN D

Format:	# # MERGE_END "cccc"
Description:	This directive defines the string used to end field names and may be from 1 to 4 characters

in length. Spaces and TABs are not allowed. This string is not part of the field name itself. The initial ending delimiter is "%%". This directive remains in force until another # # MERGE_END directive is encountered.

MERGE_START

Format:	# # MERGE_START "cccc"
Description:	This directive defines the string used to begin field names and may be from 1 to 4 characters

in length. Spaces and TABs are not allowed. This string is not part of the field name itself. The initial starting delimiter is "%%". This directive remains in force until another # # MERGE_START directive is encountered.
