If the "archid" was used to store the archives in the package, and the "name" tag in the GIMPAF.XML was of the form "SMPRELF/archid.pax.Z", Would that meet redaction requirements? If archid="FMID.Fnn", for example, then name would be "SMPRELF/FMID.Fnn.pax.Z" (even name="SMPRELF/RFDSNPFX.FMID.Fnn.pax.Z" would be passable) Not to discourage DDNAME support, mind you... >> Both these desiderata could be addressed if GIMZIP supported using >> DDNAMEs to identify its source data and used the data set names from >> its control file in the generated GIMPAF. > >I understand your desires. BTW, GIMZIP does support input UNIX files. LLB, learned something new today. Absolute pathnames only, though...similar redaction requirements may apply.
