What's the provenance of the .pax.Z? OMVS will create a POSIX-compressed file with "pax -zw" Most desktop systems will create a deflated (gzip) file with "pax -zw". Linux et al. will automatically detect deflated format and inflate it, but won't recognize the POSIX compressed. However, "pax -rz" will expand either deflated or POSIX compressed files. -- gil -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

That's because ".Z" is "compress(ed)" file format which is different than ".zip" which is "zip" file format. They are two very different things. .Z is not just a permutation of .zip as a file extension. -- Grant. . . . unix || die -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_(command) PAX was on Windows NT and 2000. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install Linux on Windows is available.

Re: extracting "*.pax.Z" without USS
On Linux *pax -r -z -f Downloads/HAMB3B0.nonsmpe.pax.Z* unzipped it for me. Some of the z/OS pax options set the attribute bits - such as APF authorised etc, so this may not work if you unzip off z/OS and FTP them up.

Re: extracting "*.pax.Z" without USS
Try 7zip or WinRAR. Default windows won't do it.

Re: extracting "*.pax.Z" without USS
I downloaded the files to my laptop. but they didnt appear as "zipped" file with the .Z I tried renaming the file with a ".zip" extension but that made the file unreadable.
