How about:

Code:
$ touch XX.YYYY..ZZZ.2014.001.12345
$ touch QQ.RRRR..ZZZ.2014.001.12345
$ find . -type f | awk -F"." -v OFS="." '{ NF=7; A[$0] } END { for(X in A) { print X }'

./QQ.RRRR..ZZZ.2014.001
./XX.YYYY..ZZZ.2014.001

$

Code:
$ find . -type f | awk -F"." -v OFS="." '{ NF=7; A[$0] } END { for(X in A) { print X } }' |
while read LINE
do
        echo cat "${LINE}"*
done

cat ./QQ.RRRR..ZZZ.2014.001.12345
cat ./XX.YYYY..ZZZ.2014.001.12345

$

Remove the 'echo' once you've tested it and are sure it does what you want. And add > "${LINE}.complete" or something. Ideally you'd want to create them in a different folder.

addseverity

addseverity(3C) 					   Standard C Library Functions 					   addseverity(3C)

NAME

       addseverity - build a list of severity levels for an application for use with fmtmsg

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fmtmsg.h>

       int addseverity(int severity, const char *string);

DESCRIPTION

       The  addseverity()  function  builds a list of severity levels for an application to be used with the message formatting facility fmtmsg().
       The severity argument is an integer value indicating the seriousness of the condition. The  string  argument  is  a  pointer  to  a  string
       describing the condition (string is not limited to a specific size).

       If  addseverity() is called with an integer value that has not been previously defined, the function adds that new severity value and print
       string to the existing set of standard severity levels.

       If addseverity() is called with an integer value that has been previously defined, the function redefines that value  with  the	new  print
       string.	Previously  defined severity levels may be removed by supplying the null string. If addseverity() is called with a negative number
       or an integer value of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, the function fails and returns -1. The values 0-4 are reserved for the	standard  severity  levels
       and cannot be modified. Identifiers for the standard levels of severity are:

       MM_HALT	       Indicates that the application has encountered a severe fault and is halting. Produces the print string HALT.

       MM_ERROR        Indicates that the application has detected a fault. Produces the print string ERROR.

       MM_WARNING      Indicates  a  condition	that  is  out  of the ordinary, that might be a problem, and should be watched. Produces the print
		       string WARNING.

       MM_INFO	       Provides information about a condition that is not in error. Produces the print string INFO.

       MM_NOSEV        Indicates that no severity level is supplied for the message.

       Severity levels may also be defined at run time using the SEV_LEVEL environment variable (see fmtmsg(3C)).

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, addseverity() returns MM_OK. Otherwise it returns MM_NOTOK.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Example of addseverity() function.

       When the function call

       addseverity(7,"ALERT")

       is followed by the call

       fmtmsg(MM_PRINT, "UX:cat", 7, "invalid syntax", "refer to manual",
       "UX:cat:001")

       the resulting output is

       UX:cat: ALERT: invalid syntax
       TO FIX: refer to manual	 UX:cat:001
