RE: CRTDIR via FTP

I'm trying to program a small tool to FTP IFS files to other systems
(we do this on an almost daily basis).
The program inserts line in an input file for a batch FTP session using
STRQSH. The problem comes when I want to insert a line line this one

quote rcmd CRTDIR DIR('/dir1/dir2/dir3')
(directory tree depth is not know, and it is a variable)

STRQSH CMD('DB2 "INSERT INTO LIBRARY.FILE (FIELD) VALUES('CRTDIR
DIR('/dir1/dir2/dir3'))"')

QSH reads the INSERT sentence from the first apostrophe to the one
after DIR(, so it  fails inserting the line.

This won't get past the CL syntax checker, but I think I know what you mean.
Something like this should work:

STRQSH CMD('DB2 "INSERT INTO schema.table (column) VALUES(''CRTDIR
DIR(\"/dir1/dir2/dir3\")'')"')
