Re: Compressing BPCS Data

i have no idea about the cost, or whether it would even work on your as/400. 
The as/400 has hardware compression capabilities. if you segregated the files 
that you wanted compressed you can specify that they be placed on 'compressed 
drives' versus normally uncompressed drives. again, i do not know the specifics 
of what hardware /software / operating system is required?

BPCS 6.1 Mixmode  AS400
Is anyone running inexpensive compression software on their AS400.  Due to
access reasons, I have some archived BPCS data that I would like to leave
on the system but would like to zip it up or compress it someway.  I've
looked at PKZIP AS400 but it is quite expensive for my limited need.  Any
other suggestions other than moving to a savefile and / or saving to tape.

Thanks
