Mainframe to Unix. Huge file >5GB
Hi,
The files are being zipped from mainframe to the UNIX server. I have to unzip huge files on AIX server which is too old. The UNZIP as well as gzip utility version is not able to handle it and if we have to install the latest version there is a lot of process which takes lot of process. Is there any other solution to handle this. I heard there is a utility called TAR. Is it something on Mainframe ? Please help.
Thanks,
Bijesh C H

ZNEW(1) BSD General Commands Manual ZNEW(1)
NAME
znew -- convert compressed files to gzipped files
SYNOPSIS
znew [-ftv9K] file ...
DESCRIPTION
The znew utility uncompresses files compressed by compress(1) and recompresses them with gzip(1).
The options are as follows:
-f Overwrite existing '.gz' files. Unless this option is specified, znew refuses to overwrite existing files.
-t Test integrity of the gzipped file before deleting the original file. If the integrity check fails, the original '.Z' file is not
removed.
-v Print a report specifying the achieved compression ratios.
-9 Use the -9 mode of gzip(1), achieving better compression at the cost of slower execution.
-K Keep the original '.Z' file if it uses less disk blocks than the gzipped one. A disk block is 1024 bytes.
SEE ALSO
gzip(1)
CAVEATS
The znew utility tries to maintain the file mode of the original file. If the original file is not writable, it is not able to do that and
znew will print a warning.
