Decompression should be unnecessary.
Pax, and I believe tar, will directly read/write catalogued Classic data sets.
It may be necessary to write to interim DASD and IEBGENER to tape.
I prefer pax to tar, partly because of the pax code page translation options.
(Although translated extracted files may be tagged incorrectly. SR; WAD.)
z/OS uses POSIX compress; Linux gzip deflate, so a filter may be necessary:
gunzip <archive.pax.Z | pax -r
-- gil
