/MERGED[=n] Specifies that the output file contain a merged list of differences with the specified number of matched records listed after each group of unmatched records. The value of the parameter n must be less than or equal to the number specified in the /MATCH qualifier. By default, the DIFFERENCES command produces a merged listing with one matched record listed after each set of unmatched records (that is, /MERGED=1). If the /MERGED, /SEPARATED, or /PARALLEL qualifier is not specified, the resulting output is merged, with one matched record following each unmatched record. Use the /MERGED qualifier to override the default value of the parameter n, or to include a merged listing with other types of output.
