Re: How to compress data in RPGLE and save it in a file and restore i t as needed?

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can you give us a little more detail on what you're trying to do?  Do you
have data in a field that you're trying to compress into a smaller field?
Or are you trying to zip up a stream file?  Or compress an OS/400 object?
or...?

Are you wanting to write your own compression routines?  Or run a command
that compresses an object?  or a data stream to save time while
transfering over a communications device?

Do you need a particular type of compression?  Like, do you need to be
compatible with GIF image format?  or .ZIP files?  or...?
