To merge PNR
Do you think I could have any possibility in to merge 2 separate Qatar air PNR into one (if booked separate PNR by British air award) if the flights had 3 hours connection in Doha ?

As they are PNRs issued by different airlines, it's unlikely they can merge them.
What do you think you will achieve by merging the PNRs - Qatar are quite happy to check you through on separate tickets.

both are for Qatar flights, issued by BA as reward flights
Milan / Doha + Doha / Male
I could make just 1 PNR but BA Avios system doesn’t allow me to book the Milan / Doha in Business class + the Doha / Male in Economy class (there aren’t business class seats available as reward ticket on this flight)
if I make just 1 PNR I can only take the whole trip in economy class

Merging PNRs isn't possible (splitting them is though)
As a courtesy, QR will check through baggage (so you don't have to collect it, in your case DOH) even if you have separate bookings (see QR Interlining (Baggage))
When checking in, print out or screenshot the page on QR's website since some contract staff might not be aware of the policy.

I understand also that of course I can remain inside the terminal without make custom

Hello, I am traveling in a few weeks DFW-DOH via AA on a one-way award ticket and connecting to QR from DOH-SYZ on a paid one-way ticket a few hours later. When checking in at DFW what would be my best option to process luggage through to final destination as these are both Oneworld alliance members? Also, would I have QR lounge access in DOH since my flight segment from JFK-DOH is in J?
AA does not interline bags on separate tickets. Even AA to AA
AA forum--->Separate ticketing / PNR: AA, oneworld, through baggage & protection issues > 2016
You will need to collect your bags and then check-in / bag drop at DOH. Check you can enter Qatar.

DOH-SYZ in economy? Lounges access is for departures. Not arrivals
