As a continuation of our 0--30 MeV analysis we present a multienergy phase shift analysis of all {ital pp} scattering data below {ital T}{sub lab}=350 MeV. In the description of all partial waves we take exactly into account the long-range potential consisting of the improved Coulomb potential (including the magnetic moment interaction), the vacuum polarization potential, and the tail of the one-pion-exchange potential. To describe the short-range interaction in the lower partial waves we use a {ital P}-matrix parametrization. The intermediate partial waves are treated either by optimal mapping techniques or by using the Nijmegen soft-core potential. The latter gives a better description of the data. The final data set comprises 1626 scattering observables. The best fit to this final data set results in {chi}{sup 2}/{ital N}{sub df}=1.117, where {ital N}{sub df}=1576 is the number of degrees of freedom. The {ital pp}{pi}{sup 0} pseudovector coupling constant is determined to be {ital f}{sub 0}{sup 2}=(74.9{plus minus}0.7){times}10{sup {minus}3}. Single-energy phase shifts and errors are also given.
