converting two 3d curves into one

Select the curve (not the feature) and Edit, Copy, Edit Paste. Once the dash panel opens specify Approximate (? assuming that's what you want; default is Exact) and add the second segment (One by One or Tangent chain). The resulting object is a Composite Curve. Search Help, Part Modeling for the term "approximate" for more info.

Ah, sorry. What version of Pro/E? The above is applicable to WF2. WF1 is slightly different, 2001 and previous still different (?). The help references should be valid tho' and you might find your answer there.

Here's how I do it, select the first curve in line so that it is highlighted in a bold red ( its 2 picks on the same line), then select #Edit

key and select the curve again, enabling one-by-one selection. Holding down the shift key, select the rest of the curves, then select the check button.

thanks Mr.Jeff,

I can now convert 2 or more connected curves to a single curve, it is actually done only by using Edit>copy command after selecting the first curve,

Anyway have u tried to generate equations ,insted of these curves equations should represent the same 3d spline curve,,

any suggestions for this????

thanks to u too Mr.Gary,

Nope. Not really sure that the goal is (?).

Is it possible to write a curve out as *.pts or *.ibl? Will that do any good?

All the bits and pieces are there but it would take a lot of digging; serious digging at that. Curve definitions (splines are polynomial expressions) are available (OpenNURBS?) and the curve's defining entities (control vertices and knot vectors) are stored in the database (take a look at an IGES export if nothing else).
