Re: Un-Zipping in the IFS

There are several way to accomplish this.

one way is using the "jar" program that comes with java(assuming you have xxxxJV1 installed on the system

jar xvf .....

There is a redbook "Bringing Zip and Unzip to i5/OS PASE and QShell Environments"
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0283.html?Open

Scott K. compiled 7-zip
http://www.scottklement.com/p7zip/

..and if you are on V7.1 IBM has released an API for "native" zip/unzip

SI44998 "OSP header files for QZIPUTIL service program"
SI44777 "OSP Zip and Unzip API on V7R1"

Choices are good.

I have some (large).ZIP files in the IFS that I need to unpack. I can
can do it from my PC, but I think that will drag everything over the
network. Is there some easy way to run a iSeries program to un-zip them?

Thanks, Sam
