Re: Output the contents of an IFS directory to a flat file

I'm working on a method to automate the use of the GUNZIP utility Scott

way to output these file names into a file that could be read by a CL
program (sorta like DSPFD permits using an outfile). DSPLNK wil only permit
display to the screen and to a spool file. I really don't want to mess with
CPYSPLF.

Do you mean you want to put the contents of all the stream files on the IFS into one stream file also on the IFS (that's what I assume you mean by "flat file")? If so, then it is easy from qshell:

cat file1 file2 file3 file4 .... > resultfile
