Hello everyone,

I wanted to share my experience with installing gzip user Miniconda under the /bin directory. After the installation, I noticed that both

However, I've encountered an interesting behavior: to unzip a file using

, after which I can successfully use

to unzip the file. On the other hand, I can use

to unzip the file without needing to enter the interactive shell.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, do you have any insights or solutions to avoid using

Thank you!

Hi,

Did you try to run /prd/mini/envs/zoss/bin/gunzip without calling bash interactive?

If that works make sure /prd/mini/envs/zoss/bin is in your PATH.

echo $PATH

export PATH=/prd/mini/envs/zoss/bin:$PATH

Also it would be nice to know what your login program is, (lu,<userid>,OMVS) look at Login Program.

Hi Ronny, 

Some reason not able to response from email. 

 I have setup the PATH exactly like you mention above. 

1. Did you do what I asked you to do? Please answer the questions I asked in my previous post

Yes, it is giving me same error "FSUM7332 syntax error: got (, expecting Newline"

2. What terminal are you using to issue the commands? (Putty, Windows Terminal, the ISHELL or what?)

OMVS, Putty

3. Did you zip the file in z/Unix or somewhere else (Windows, Linux, MacOS)?

                       i.   Used gzip under z/Unix to zip the file.

4. If you zipped it somewhere else, what did you use to transfer the file to z/Unix?

FTP, WinSCP

5. Is the file tagged? If it is tagged what codepage?

No

Hi Raju,

gunzip is not a binary file but a short script that calls the gzip -d command. Since the tools built with enhanced ASCII support (Latin-1), the script has an ISO-8859-1 encoding and an ISO-8859-1 tag. To run the script, you need to set a variable for automatic conversion.

export _BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON

Could you try setting the following environment variable and running gunzip again?

You can also add this variable in your ~/.profile file:
z/OS Miniconda Installation
We usually recommend setting these variables:

Thanks,
