Re: List of file names from IFS directory to merge into one file

He's trying to merge all of the FILES together?!  I thought he was just
trying to merge the list of filenames into an XML document.

If you're trying to merge them all together you could do them in QSHELL
using the cat program.
        STRQSH CMD('cd /somepath; cat * >> /path/to/bigfile.dat')
