RE: merging 2 .csv files

Just to be clear this is how the data is showing up after the cat command
"FNAME","LNAME""SASA","ACKAR""JAMES","ADAMS""AMY","ADKINS""ERNEST","ADKINS"

This is how it should show up.
"FNAME","LNAME"
"MICHAEL","ALBERT"
"FRANCES","ALDERSON"
"JONATHAN","ALDRIDGE"

And this is what it looks like with the -c parm and the file shows CCSID 819

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).
