I finally managed to get enough space for a ZFS to test the zip of a file > 2Gb
:
I successfully zipped a 4.7GB file (in USS).
Fri Jun 19 13:40:22 GMT 2009
/u/userid/zip31b: >zip -av -1 /tmp/BIG_FILE.zip /tmp/big_file.txt
Translating to ASCII...
adding: È_ø>¬¿ñèë¡ÈÌÈ
(in=5043928330) (out=1440061937) (deflated 71%)
total bytes=5043928330, compressed=1440061937 -> 71% savings

Also, I know it was mentioned by Timothy earlier that it may be possible to
read directly from MVS files using "//" syntax.
I tried it using :
/u/userid/zip31b: >zip -av -1 /tmp/BIG_FILE.zip //userid.BIG.FILE
& got
Translating to ASCII...
zip warning: name not matched: //userid.BIG.FILE
zip error: Nothing to do! (BIG_FILE.ZIP)
Not sure if I got the syntax correct or if its just not build for MVS style
dataset input.
Bob, please let me if you managed to get the -D_LARGE_FILE support working for
cmsmvs/mvs.mki makefile
I tried to following your descriptions for the changes on this, but I still get
"zip error: Not supported (LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT enabled but OS not supporting
it)."
Thanks for all assistance thus far,
Vikesh
