Last few days I used Info-ZIP quite a lot (z/OS 1.6 and 1.7). The problem I
have is that the blocksize of zipped files equals 80, so the zipped files
need a lot of space. E.g.
adding: 'N500223/D#060301/CHAN#IOQ/RMF#BC01.TXT' (in=5893937)
(out=523379) (deflated 91%)
total bytes=5893937, compressed=523379 -> 91% savings
and the dataset allocations:
Command - Enter "/" to select action Tracks %Used
------------------------------------------------------------------
N500223.D#060301.CHAN#IOQ.RMF#BC01.TXT 120 90
N500223.D#060301.CHAN#IOQ.ZIP#BC01 90 93
Is there any possibility to influence the block size (without modifying the
code)?
