Two alternatives that involve no coding: 1. SAVLIB LIB(YOURLIB) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(YOURLIB/YOURSAVF) DTACPR(*YES) This uses OS/400's own built-in compression. I've found it reasonably good. It is not the default. 2. If you don't like #1 for some reason, there's another way. (Assumes Java installed -- you don't need to program in Java for this) First, FTP ftp to your own machine. namefmt 1 lcd /somewhere/in.your/ifs put /qsys.lib/yourlib.lib/yourfile.file yourfile.savf Then, under QSH: cd /somewhere/in.your/ifs jar -cf yourzip.zip yourfile.savf The Java "Jar" command does zip files (a Java Jar file is nothing more than a zip, really). I haven't done both, but I doubt if you get much improvement over doing both for doing just the first one. It might even get larger. Larry W.
