QGIS version 3.2.1-Bonn

I have many ECW image tiles, and I want to combine them into one image (mosaic).
So when I use the Raster - Misscellaneous - Merge - Parameters - Inpurt layers - select all ECW images (EPSG:26917 - NAD83 /UTM 17N)

Grab pseudocolor table from first layer: default
Place each input file into a separate band: default
Output data type: Float32
GDAL/OGR console call:
gdal_merge.bat -ot Float32 -of ECW -o C:/4_QGis/041P05K01/041p05.ecw --optfile C:/Users/zjzhu/AppData/Local/Temp/processing_8b97f0e259554203b97eecdfde25cd78\mergeInputFiles.txt

When I run in background, I got the following messages:

GDAL command output:
Format driver ECW does not support creation and piecewise writing.

Please select a format that does, such as GTiff (the default) or HFA (Erdas Imagine).

Could I merge many ECW images into one ECW image ?

If yes, could you please give me some hints .

thanks
