That's confusing.  Explain your steps in more detail.

Are you describing consecutive processes or alternative processes?

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

We use FTP to transmit a TAR file to our UNIX Platform, execute BPXBATCH to 
extract a particular ZIP file and then execute COZBATCH to transmit the ZIP 
file to our mainframe where we extract the contents.

I am at  z/OS 2.3 system. Has anybody de-compress a USS ".tar" file to a z/OS  
tape file. If so, can you share the code.

Thanks in advanced
