Hi all, I got the source for Info-Zip and compiled it (which didn't fix anything) but it did allow me to debug things and I found that the allocate was not getting the only allowed "zero" return code. Further checking allowed me to discover that there appears to be a problem with C routines under LE when allocating a dataset if the module(s) in question are loaded from the shadow copy of a linklist dataset and not the base copy. Changing ZIP to be in the base allowed normal operation. I went back and tested with the original module and it also works in that base configuration.
I don't see that this will be a problem for people using "real" dasd, just the ADCD users (like me). I tested zip on our 2066 under z/os V1.7 (with "real" dasd on a shark and it functioned fine. I rebuilt the ADCD and included the module in the base and it workd fine for both Z/os 1.6 and 1.7. When I rebuilt again and left it off the base so that it would be loaded from the shadow copy and again it fails. Hopefully this will help someone in the future if they run into the same problem on their ADCD system.
