The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer's WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS primary merge file does not work in WP 6.0, even after converting it. The WP 5.1 file looks like this: {PROMPT}menu~{FIELD}{KEYBOARD}~{NEST}primary. The WP 6.0 (converted) file looks like this: KEYBOARD(user's menu list)Field() NestForm(). Solutions: The WordPerfect 6.0 Reference manual states that "While merge is paused at a KEYBOARD command, you can execute QUIT, NEXTRECORD, or STOP from the keyboard." These are the only commands that can be used while at a KEYBOARD command in WP 6.0. To start the nested file merge, the customer would need to use a GETSTRING command to place the name of the desired data file into a variable, and then use NestForm(variable name).
