Merge multiple spools into a new big spool (OTF) ???

Question

Hi.
I just want to know how to merge multiples otf (or spool) into a new big spool.
All OTF are starting with something like that:
//XZSIMM       046B 0000000000
IN01FZVINVOICE_BPB01 FIRST
OPDINA4   P 144  240 1683811906000010000100000
When changing page we got a:
EP
All OTF are terminated with a EOF symbol:
How can i merge these OTF ????
Should I remove all // except the last one ?
I tried to remove the first line and the last line of each OTF but it doesn't work.
Please help me.

Hi Fabien,
Here is the solution to merge multiple OTF data....
EP is the command which indicates end of page.
Suppose the two OTF data are like this:
//  XHPLJIIID         0620    00000000001
IN 04EZSHAIL_SMFORM1
IN 05%PAGE1
OP DINA4     P   144   240   3495731000100289301000
IN 06MAIN
EP
//  XHPLJIIID         0620     00000000001
IN 04EZSHAIL_SMA1
IN 05%PAGE1
OP DINA4   P   144   240   238974761890001001100010
IN 06MAIN
EP
The merged OTF should be like this:
//  XHPLJIIID         0620    00000000001
IN 04EZSHAIL_SMFORM1
IN 05%PAGE1
OP DINA4     P   144   240   3495731000100289301000
IN 06MAIN
EP
IN 04EZSHAIL_SMA1
IN 05%PAGE1
OP DINA4   P   144   240   238974761890001001100010
IN 06MAIN
EP
The idea is like this:
Each OTF data has to begin and end with '//'.
Each page should end with 'EP'.
So, to merge multiple OTF data, after each EP command, append the data
part of each OTF data.(DON'T INCLUDE THE FIRST LINE ie: // XHPLIIID ....)
This is how you merge multiple OTF data to one OTF data...
