Vikesh, I don't see a way to avoid the "-" file created by zip: this is what it uses as a file name when it uses stdin as input. Better to use gzip or bzip2 for single files anyway.
I didn't mean to imply that you hated OMVS - this was a little joke referring to recent threads on IBM-MAIN :-) OMVS is fine, but sometimes it is just easier to offload Unix stuff to a "real" Unix/Linux distro, where all of the tools are readily available. Using Co:Z Launcher to offload processing is nearly as simple as running the previous "local" JCL I posted. Here is JCL that offloads processing to a Unix/Linux/Windows box which could be in your DMZ. The Linux script compresses, encrypts, and transfers the datasets using a series of pipelines: // EXEC COZPROC,PARM='[email protected]' //IN DD DSN=HLQ.DATA,DISP=SHR //STDIN DD * # this shell script runs on a Linux box, but uses fromdsn # to reach back and access a dataset in the launching job fromdsn -k -l crlf //DD:IN | gzip -c - | gpg -r key-1 --batch --output=- --encrypt=- | curl -T- ftp://dest.host/dir/file.data // (Yes, this works with Windows if you have CYGWIN, although it wouldn't be my preference) Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 10:44 AM, Vikesh Bhoola <[email protected]> wrote: > Kirk, thanks for info on Co:Z. > > Its not that I hate OMVS, it was just additional space was required as > USS Info-zip couldn't read from MVS datasets. > > This solution works for me > - can be used to read MVS datasets > - can be used to write to MVS datasets as well > - retains trailing spaces > - uses CR/LF as a line terminator > > Will see how it manages zipping some large files. > > Apart from the single "-" file name within zip this is great.
