Without a manual, I'd take a stab at the syntax...

MERGE file-1 file-2
GIVING file-3

Ah - but I have a COBOL manual on my computer. Let's see... Looks like
I'm missing a "USING" clause...

MERGE file-1 USING file-2 GIVING file-3

How about that - I learned something! :)

Yeah, but a REAL programmer would write a 3 way split... :-)
