Ascii issue with zipping a file using QSH and JAR

I have used this successfully on previous releases but am now stuck with
this issue. I do the following:
1. DSPJOBLOG *PRINT
2. CRTPF SPLF RCDLEN(133)
3. CPYSPLF to SPLF
4. CPYTOIMPF SPLF to /tmp/joblog.txt stmfccsid(*STDACII) *CRLF
5. QSH JAR cfM /tmp/joblog.zip /tmp/joblog.txt
6. email the zipped file to myself

I get the email and can open the zip file, but now get the tmp folder and
not the zipped file.

When I open the zipped file, the file has garbage as if the data was not
converted to ASCII.
Using the shares I create to the IFS:
I can open the joblog.txt using windows explorer and notepad++ and its good.
I open the zipped file using windows explorer using Open, and I get errors
and an unreadable file.

This system is on v7.2.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA, Darryl Freinkel
