FYI, IBM is aware of limitation of full directory path and will be looking
into it. Anything else you would like to see should be done via request
for enhancements (RFE)[1].

Also, latest PTFs for the CPYTOARCF/CPYFRMARCF support is:

R720 SI68881
R730 SI68882

For unzipping, I have use jar command. Something like:

jar xvf xxxxxx.zip

There are times when you get so annoyed with IBM i that you just wanna
run
out of the room screaming. OK I'm being overdramatic here but I am kinda
annoyed by one thing in particular.

I used to use the zip utility from here,

to zip and unzip .zip files on IBM i. However, that product has not
been
updated to the latest ZLIB in a long period of time. So when I noticed
that
IBM gave us the CPYTOARCF commands I was happy, but you can't supply
that a
password. And, you always get the full directory path in the .zip and
there
isn't a way to stop that that I know of.

So what do others do for their .zip files? Do you use a commerical
product
or are you using ZLIB with minizip included? Are you building your own?
I'd
love to know as I hate using 3rd party apps if I don't have to.
