Re: Easiest way to extract GZIP or .GZ on IFS?

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suspect that this command is limited to PKZIP compression. I tried 
running it against a tar.gz file and received a message that the file or 
content was not valid for decompression - something like that.

Examples in the command help text are a ZIP file and a JAR file. JAR 
files are PKZIP'd archives.

I ran the CPYTOARCF, and the result was a PKZIP'd archive. You can 
determine that by looking at the file contents in a text editor, the 
first 2 characters are PK. Also look in WRKLNK with CCSID 850.

The archive file was created as CCSID 37, but the contents are ASCII, 
that's why I used F15 in WRKLNK display to see the actual content in 
CCSID 850. Archives like this are probably processed as non-text, so 
CCSID doesn't really matter, especially on other systems.
