Undefined control sequence (\email, \address) in combine class

Question

I am using the combine class to merge several tex files. Each of these files has a title with the name of the article, name of the author and the author's address and email id. Here is a sample of each article:

\documentclass[12pt]{amsart}
\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath,amsthm}
\title[xxx]{xxx}
\author{yyy}
\address{Department of zzz, www}
\email{abc@gmail.com}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
...
\end{abstract}
...
\end{document}

Here is the text from the main document for the combine:

\documentclass[12pt]{combine}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{combine}
\maketitle \tableofcontents
\clearpage
\begin{papers}
\coltoctitle{xxx}
\coltocauthor{yyy}
\label{abc}
\import{abc}
\end{papers}
\end{document}

When I try to compile the main combine file, I get the following error:

./abc.tex:Undefined control sequence \address

./abc.tex:Undefined control sequence \email

The individual articles do not give this error. Will be grateful for help on this! Thanks.

Thanks for the edit. I'm new to TeX.SE and still trying to figure things out. — Arundhathi, Mar 13 '14 at 05:05

The combine class needs to know which document classes you are using in imported documents.

This can be passed as an option at loading time: memoir, book, report, and letter can be passed directly, while, if you don't specify anything, article is assumed.

In your case you are using amsart, and to let combine know about it, you have to pass the option colclass=amsart:

\documentclass[12pt,colclass=amsart]{combine}

MWE:

\documentclass[12pt,colclass=amsart]{combine}

\title{Proceedings}

\begin{document}

 \pagestyle{combine}

 \maketitle \tableofcontents

 \clearpage


 \begin{papers}

  \coltoctitle{xxx}

  \coltocauthor{yyy}

  \label{abc}

  \import{abc}

\end{papers}

\end{document}

Output:
