Check the files... they probably have only newline as line separators. Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com
FWIW, there is a sample program in JZOS (in the IBM Java SDK) that I wrote called "ZipDatasets" which will create Zip files from/to datasets, PDS members, etc. Unfortunately, it suffers the same fate (files are converted from EBCDIC to ASCII with newlines and not CR/NL ). You can download the source code, class files, and javadoc from here: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/tools/java/products/jzos/jzossamp.html This can be run in batch using the JZOS Batch Launcher. Here are some details: =========================================================== Usage: com.ibm.jzos.sample.ZipDatasets [-t targetEncoding] outfile indsname... where: -t targetEncoding can optionally specify the codepage name to encode the text data as it is written to the Zip file. If not specified, this defaults to ISO8859-1 (Latin/ASCII) and outfile is either: - a Unix file path name: /path/to/some/file.zip - a dataset name: //A.B.C - a PDS member name: //A.B.C(MEM) - a DD name: //DD:XYZ - a DD name and member: //DD:XYZ(MEM) and each (at least one) indsname is either: - a dataset name: //A.B.C - a dataset pattern: //A.*.D - a PDS member name: //A.B.C(MEM) - a PDS member pattern: //A.B.C(D*X) - a DD name: //DD:XYZ - a DD name and member: //DD:XYZ(MEM) - a DD name and member pattern: //DD:XYZ(D*X) // prefixes may be omitted from indsnames All dataset names are assumed to be fully qualified. Example: Zip several partitioned datasets to a Unix zip file: com.ibm.jzos.sample.ZipDatasets test.zip sys1.proclib(asm*) hlq.**.jcl Example: Zip all datasets matching two patterns to a dataset: com.ibm.jzos.sample.ZipDatasets //hlq.backup.zip payroll.*.data gl.**.dat* Example: Zip data using DDs and input and output: com.ibm.jzos.sample.ZipDatasets //DD:ZIPOUT //DD:INSEQ1 //DD:INPDS1 //DD:INPDS2(FOO*) On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 10:05 AM, Jim McAlpine <jim.mcalp...@gmail.com> wrote: > I ran the following to archive 2 files at once - > > >> //ZIP EXEC PGM=ZIP, >> // PARM='/ -v -a dd:archive -@' >> //STEPLIB DD DSN=INFOZIP.LOAD,DISP=SHR >> //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* >> //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* >> //CEEDUMP DD SYSOUT=* >> //ARCHIVE DD DSN=INFOZIP.ARCHIVE,DISP=(NEW,CATLG), >> // SPACE=(CYL,(10,10),RLSE),..... >> //SYSIN DD * >> 'SEQ.DATASET1.TXT' >> 'SEQ.DATASET2.TXT' > > and downloaded it to my pc in binary and unzipped it but the resultant files > have no end of line separators and I'm left with files of just a single > line.
