You can concatenate the files one by one if you just do something like:
Code:
for file in $AGENT_DATA/amgen/SPR_201103*; do
   cat $file >> $AGENT_DATA/AMGEN
done

Maybe you have to check if this is the right order in which they will be concatenated.

Code:
cat $AGENT_DATA/amgen/SPR_201103* >$AGENT_DATA/AMGEN
