My thanks to Scott for this link. Once I got the syntax correct, this is 
working exactly as desired.

Hello,

IBM has ported many of the GNU utilities, including gunzip, to the 
iSeries. You can download them for free from IBM. Take a look at the 
following link:

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/enable/site/porting/iseries/overview/gnu_utilities.html



It might be worth knowing that GNU Zip ("gzip") and GNU Unzip ("gunzip") 
are compression only.  They're not archive software packages.  Usually an 
archive is created with the Unix TAR utility, and the result gzipped to 
make it smaller.  The extension then looks like ".tar.gz" or ".tgz".

Both QShell and PASE come with TAR utilities.
