Re: merging 2 .csv files

Re: Using cat

Yet another approach surrounding the cat command is to use the -c
(binary) option. So

cat -c /pdfflr/pattycsv.csv /pdfflr/pattycsv5.csv > /pdfflr/pattynew.csv

Since it's binary, with no conversion, the data from the two input CSV
files should be preserved, byte for byte. The CCSID attribute of the
resulting file will most likely be 37, but you can fix that with the
CHGATR command (or option 13 from the WRKLNK display).

Please note that CHGATR just changes the metadata for the file; CPY
actually changes the data itself (as well as the metadata).
