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.
