You can use the following JZOS sample Java program, either in a batch job or from a shell:
com.ibm.jzos.sample.ZipDatasets - the inputs AND outputs can be a dataset (or DD reference) - The java program can also be run in batch using the JZOS batch launcher utility (part of the IBM z/OS SDK). - its all Java; should have a very high zAAP/zIIP enablement quotient - this sample is designed to work with text data; the zipped output is automatically converted from the default EBCDIC platform encoding to ISO8859-1 (or your choice) Example: com.ibm.jzos.sample.ZipDatasets //DD:ZIPOUT //DD:INSEQ.* //DD:INPDS1 //DD:INPDS2(FOO*) Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com PS> This page has the JZOS sample downloads (including source with javadoc) : http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/tools/java/products/jzos/jzossamp.html The 2.3.0 version includes ZipDatasets, but the web page is out of date and doesn't mention it. ZipDatasets is a pretty nice non-trivial example of using the base Java and JZOS apis (datasets, catalogs, pds directories, etc, etc) > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
