One alternative. If you can unzip the file(s) on a PC then, assuming a standard "zip" format, you should be able to unzip them on z/OS through alternate means. One common one is the jar command, provided with the no additional charge IBM SDK Java Technology Edition for z/OS that most of you probably already have somewhere on your z/OS system. (It's at least getting very difficult not to have the SDK somewhere in newer releases of z/OS.) For example, to unzip a file using the jar command type these commands at a z/OS UNIX System Services prompt: cd /where-you/want-it jar xf /path-to/my-file.zip You might have to put a path in front of the jar command if it's not already listed in your PATH. The cd directory (/where-you/want-it in this example) is some real directory where you have write permission. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
