  • 1.  Gzip with -z option not using zedc engine

    Posted 10-25-2018 08:25

    Hello,
    it seems that the -z option of gzip does not use the zedc engine.
    here is a test gzip and gzip -z
    Our system is z/OS 2.2

    Do you have any idea what I could have done as an error ?

    Hi,
    Could you try with gzip-1.9-edc_b002.180703.tar, please?

    Hello Tatiana,
    Thanks for your feedback.
    The gzip -z option of gzip.1.9 does not seem to use the zedc engine.
    Here is the log dans unix services:
