Remember you can run QShell commands in CL (or RPG, for that matter) by
specifying the command parameter for QSH, and separating commands with a
semi-colon (or running QSH several times). Simon's solution[1] could be
done in a one liner (or several if you want to build the command from
variables first).

QSH CMD('cat file1 file2 > file3; rm file2; mv file3 file2')
