in fact it's there and it's free with Java :

cpyToStmF &savFilPth &stmFilPth +
          stmFOpt(*replace) cvtDta(*none) endLinFmt(*fixed)

chgVar &qShCmd ('jar cf ' *cat &savDir *tCat &zipNamW +
                *bCat &wrkDir *tCat '*')

qSh cmd(&qShCmd)

just fill in the appropriate values for the variables, e.g.
&savFilPth = '/qsys.lib/yourLib.lib/savefile.file' ... copy all
your save files to the directory &wrkDir and you'll have 1
.zip file with your saves.

I do it every night and burn a CD when I've reached 650 MB ;-)
