RE: CPYTOIMPF and CSV Format

Actually, WinZIP does a real nice job compressing the files on the IFS
through a NetServer share, that is once the padded spaces are removed.

On the size issue, it might work to compress it in IFS. With all the
blanks, this ought to compress hugely. <g> jar can do it, right? IBM
distributes a version of gzip for iSeries, but it has size limits. (It is
also not the fastest thing on 3 legs.) However, qshell has a split
function. And cat can be used to reconstitute the file.

Maybe?
