files, EMRG files, or all E-Prime data files) and a merge status (never merged, already merged, or
ignore merge status). Accept the default settings, and click the Next button to include all EDAT
files that have not previously been merged.
The merge operation will then continue as it does in the Standard merge (i.e., by prompting for
the target file). Navigate to an existing file, or enter the name of a file to be used as the target file
for the recursive merge operation. Click the OK button to continue.
If the named target file did not previously exist, the application will verify whether or not it should
be created. Click the Yes button to continue.
The target file will be created as specified in the Set Target File dialog, and the merge operation
will commence. Upon completion of the operation, the Merge Results dialog will display a
summary of the merge operation. The recursive merge operation just performed will merge five
EDAT files from the Data folder and five EDAT files from the Originals subfolder into the
RecursiveMergeData.EMRG file.
