When do you thing IBM will supply a native zip engine that will allow the ability to compress files on the IFS in zip format. This is a needed component when trying to give file data to customers accessing information from the web server. I cannot believe they have not ported this capability yet. It would be nice to send report data from regular programs to the ifs and zip it with CL commands.
