It's been that way for years now. You'd think they would have fixed it.

FYI, IBM is aware of limitation of full directory path and will be looking

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,

u=http-3A__uzaemon.d.dooo.jp_-23download&d=DwICAg&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-

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.
