It appears getting the cmsmvs version LARGE_FILES is proving to be more 
challenging than I've anticipated.

Using COZBATCH and USS infozip method would have been ideal & quicker too, 
however the file name "-" within zip is really a problem for our Windows unzip 
program get "Error : no files found". Our users would like to retain the input 
dataset name.

Yes I did mean bzip2. I hope we'll manage to set the full input dataset name 
within zip.

Yes, I do have a batch JCL for the cmsmvs zip set up :

//INFOZIP  EXEC PGM=ZIP,                                           
// PARM='/-avl -1 -MV=dots DD:OUT ''INPUT.DATASET.NAME'''
//STEPLIB  DD   DSN=userid.INFOZIP.LOAD,DISP=SHR                    
//SYSOUT   DD   SYSOUT=*                                           
//SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=*                                           
//OUT      DD   DSN=OUTPUT.DATASET.NAME,          
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),                             
//            SPACE=(TRK,(45000,5000),RLSE),                        
//            DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0)                    
//SYSIN    DD   DUMMY

I appreciate the effort Bob, thanks for at least trying.
