Re: Qshell jar zipped file has strange characters

Hi Craig,
I can't directly answer your question because I don't use jar for 
zipping but I'm familiar with the problem with file name ccsids in 
archives. If you haven't got a jar solution then you could try the free 
ARP-ZIP tool. It let's you set a ccsid for file names independently of 
file contents and it's easy to script.
