Type two single quotes each place that you want a single quote within a
single-quoted literal.  And, unless my eyes are crossing, you want to
close the quotation on the string within DIR().  Thus ...

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

Kinda ugly, isn't it?
