Why don't you explain what you are trying to accomplish. That will help as well.

For example, are you tryingn to transfer from one AS/400 to another?

Are you zipping PFs and then wanting to send them to a PC? If the data contains numeric or packed, it won't be any good anyway.

I don't quite understand if you zip files on an AS/400 what good they will do on a PC.

I guess I am not making my self understood. We FTP a zipped file therefore
not translation can talk place. The sole purpose is to reduce the amount of
time transfering the data because the files being FTPd are very big. Last
nights file was 976MB unzipped. We did the CPYTOSTMF but that takes a lot
of time.

I want to be able to translate the PF back and forth from ASCII to EBCDIC
etc. This would eliminate the timely CPYTOSTMF. The zipping would eliminate
the costly transfer by FTP.
