The latest from IBM: "Hello Len,
The DGASACMP program will not accept QPL_FLAG_GZIP_MODE. In our documentation ( https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/connect-direct/6.2.0?topic=dgasacmp-parameters ) we specify what parameters that can be passed to the DGASACMP program. I did a Google search on QPL_FLAG_GZIP_MODE and got the following hit: https://intel.github.io/qpl/documentation/dev_guide_docs/c_use_cases/deflate/c_deflate_zlib_gzip.html This hit was in a 'Welcome to Intel® QPL Documentation' so I am not even sure it applies to the mainframe... ZLIB is part of the operating system, not Connect:Direct. If this flag also applies to ZLIB on the mainframe, you could open a Request for Enhancement (or what IBM is now being referred to as an "idea for a new product feature") to see if it can be added. If interested, we can provide the instructions on how to open an "idea for a new product feature". Regards, Ankit Karnwal" Management's decision. Thank You and Please Be Safe. Please Note: I would appreciate it if you would please include my teammates ("rdc_applications_...@gdit.com") in future emails to keep them informed.

Len: Even if they are not Mainframe based, they should have the "utility" for their system if they are running Connect:Direct for that system. Otherwise, they are going to fail the hand-shake for the XFER protocols used by C:D, unless the new owners have made other changes to have C:D use "FTP". But then I didn't work on V6 or later.
