Hello all,
This question is about z/os and pkzip.
Used versions; z/os 1.7.1 and PKZIP(R) for zSeries,
Version 8.2.0 -
02/06/06 15.01 LVL(4)
I've been looking around for a way to check if previously
created zip-
file is empty or contains any entries. So far I've not
come up with a
solution. What I want to do is basically , in a batch-job
, given a
datasetname pointing to a zip-archive, check wether the
zip-archive is
empty or not and based on a return-code or similar be able
to control
the following processing steps in a job.
I have tried to check the manual to see if any of the
possible
operations to perform upon an archive will do the job but
without
success.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Miguel
Try trapping the output of PKUNZIP -v command and
looking for the "No file(s) found" message. You could also
experiment with that same command and see if different
return codes are passed for successful vs. unsuccessful.
