Hi I have a question in the JCL step (PKZIP) discussed in the previous session.

Since we are using ZIPPED_DSN(Dataset to be compressed)...still do we need to give (AAAA.BBBBB.CCCCCCC.DDDDDDD.TXT ) in the last line. I need some help please.

You must include the last line, since that indicates to PKZIP which dataset(s) are to be included in the zip archive. The
-ZIPPED_DSN statement is entirely optional, although, when used, it is normally specified using a wildcard, i.e.:

-ZIPPED_DSN(*,XXXXXXX.TXT)
