What if the requirement is to compress or decompress an area of memory, by calling something from a COBOL CICS transaction running on z/OS, in a way that it could be compatibly decompress or compress by a program running on another platform?
For example: CICS > compress > send across some communication path > transaction on Linux > program > decompress > same data as started with The actual algorithm isn't critical, as long as it is compatible on both ends. The compressed data isn't in a file, nor are jobs being run. This is transaction processing. My preference would be an algorithm that has the compression ratio of 7zip with the performance of RLE. 😊 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Rahim Azizarab Sent: Friday, March 24, 2023 4:05 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Unzip on z/OS ?
