Venkata Ramana Reddy,

At our shop we use PKZIP to zip Mainframe PS Files. If you want I can post a sample JCL for you.

Hope this helps...

cheers

Supplying the JCL is no good if you don't have the product.

A google search of 'zip mvs' shows 5 products on the 1st page.

Kolusu,

Currently I am using Pkzip in our mainfraame systems. I am using this to zip the file and also put the password for the zipped file. then I emailed the zipped file through SMTP. The problem it is creating many directrories and at the end only I am seeing the file

for ex: the name of the file to zipped is f0387vg.SEQ.email

I am getting three folders one F0387VG, SEQ, EMAIL and then only I am able to see the actual file.

Please let me know how I can see the file directly after putting the password

Thanks
Eswar
