Zipping a file in IFS

[vijayrmca]

Hi All,

i have the below the command to copy data to IFS

CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(MYLIB/MYFILE) TOSTMF('Report/output.TXT')

After copying to IFS i need to zip the file and send mail to users.

For zipping have used this command

QSH CMD('jar -cfm output.zip output.txt')

But the command is not working and throwing error saying java.io.FileNotFoundException: output.txt

The file is there in the mentioned folder still am getting the same.

Kindly help me to solve this issue.

Re: Zipping a file in IFS

Have you got an upper case file extension (output.TXT) but are specifying a lower case one (output.txt) ?

You specified a subdirectory ('Report') on the CPYTOIMPF, but did not specify a subdirectory on the jar command.

The syntax doesn't look correct. It should be:
jar cfm <archive name> <stmf>

However, do you need the manifest? I suspect you really want

jar cfM <archive name> <stmf>

A lower case m indicates a manifest should be included, a capital M specifies no manifest. For zip files, you should not be including that. You have also specified -c (which should be a capital) which indicates you are temporarily changing directory during the command.
Also, as Scott has mentioned, unless you have changed directory beforehand, you're looking in the wrong place.
