Re: Is it possible to compress a record using Java / RPGLE

It sounds like you are trying to save an IFS object (the zip file) to the
DB2 database in a character field.  These two structures store information
on the AS400 in different ways.  You should save the zip file on the IFS,
then save the path to the zip file in the variable length field if you need
a reference to the location of the zip file.
