Thanks!  I got it to run and now looking for the best way forward...P7 or this or something else.  I've got Ted Holt's book and it helps but is there any other knowledge bases on QSH syntax that can run on iSeries?

Frank,
This works for me:
SBMJOB CMD(QSH CMD('ajar --list myzip.zip>list.txt'))
Check your home directory. Or specify the full path in your command:
 SBMJOB CMD(QSH CMD('ajar --list myzip.zip>/mydir/list.txt'))

 qprint, is that possible?

 These can be run via QShell, and are alternatives (you only need one of
 hem, not all of them)
 With JAR:
  jar -t httpapi.zip
 With AJAR:
  ajar -l httpapi.zip
 With Info-Zip:
  unzip -l httpapi.zip
 With 7-Zip
  7z l httpapi.zip
 The last two (InfoZip/7-Zip) are not included with the system, but can
 e installed for free in PASE.  These last two options run the fastest,
 y far, on my system.  The 'jar' tool runs very, very slowly, on my
 ystem (to the point where I find it nearly unusable)
 These are run via the QShell interface, and can be run from a program
 nd output to a file if desired.  (You could then read the file to read
 he contents into a program.)
 You could also run them with my (open source) UNIXCMD tool to make it
 asy to read into a program without any need for a temporary file.
