Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using the {STOP} merge command to merge to a particular record in the secondary file using the 03/30/90 release date. When the command is placed at the end of the {END RECORD} command, it doesn't seem to be recognized and merges the entire file. However, if the user places the {STOP} command at the beginning of the following record, it stops the merge with the previous record. With the 12/31/90 release date, the {STOP} command works whether it is after the {END RECORD} command or at the beginning of the next record. Solutions: The {STOP} has to be at a place where the merge is going to read it. Thus, placing the {STOP} command at the end of the {END RECORD} command or at the beginning of the next record is acceptable and the merge will stop before bringing in the next record. This is the way the {STOP} command now works with the 12/31/90 release date.
