I see if your 1234 line is followed by a 1123 line you don't want to combine lines. For the following I assume your data will never have a tilde character "~". If it does substitute some other "never happen" character or stream of characters in the sed command file.
Here I change the newline to a tilde. If the characters after that are 1123, change the tilde back to a newline. If not, delete the tilde and the line following 1234 will remain appended.
