We need to TERSE a fairly large (for us) amount of data. This data is in multiple separate datasets now, but needs to be sent as one large sequential dataset. We can TERSE the concatenated sequential input of course; but out of curiosity I'm wondering: can you TERSE the individual components, concatenate the results via IEBGENER, and the UNTERSE the resulting file on the other end?
>From what I remember about Lempel-Ziv, the "dictionary" is built as you go along but it might mean that the second and subsequent files concatenated would be read with incomplete information, resulting in erroneous decompression results? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
