Are the files being zip'd staying on the mainframe or is the intent going from mainframe to open system and unzip?
If mainframe only, you can look at TRSMAIN that comes with the system. But you will be limited in what can be zip'd and how. But TRSMAIN is used to take files and transmit them to vendors for review. It provides a standard format and you can use intermediate processes to zip. This is part of the z/OS (I think) Lizette -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Jan Vanbrabant Sent: Friday, June 21, 2013 1:35 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: free zIP/UNZIP in z/OS Hi, My customer is looking for a freeware ZIP/UNZIP. The 2013 budget doesn't allow him to acquire a fee one& apparabtly his need is now. I looked a bit around & found Info-ZIP http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/Zip.html IBM Ported Tools for z/OS --- Supplementary Toolkit --- bzip2 http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/features/unix/ported/suptlk/index.html The free ones aren't as functional as the fee ones of course (PKZIP, ZIP/390, SLIKZIP); think bout encryption, zIIP support, UNIX file system support, …). Any experiences to share? Possibly other tools (free, of course ;-) ) ? Advices?
