It is not possible to do this directly. However, it is possible mergedata from a child alternative into the alternative next up the tree.This is done using the Merge icon in the Alternatives manager. To usethis, select the child alternative and select the Merge icon. You willget a message that says:"This action will move all records from 'child alternative' into 'basealternative' and remove 'child alternative'. Are you sure you want tomerge 'child alternative'."This means that the data in the current child alternative will beapplied the alternative next up the tree. Note that it is not possibleto use the Merge function when if with alternative is being used by thecurrent scenario. You will also want to be very careful in removingalternatives that may be used in other scenarios as well.
