What doesn’t make sense is that it references a local PC directory that contains files from the IFS. The files would normally have been put there by the PC user, not the iSeries user. But now the attempt to zip them is from the iSeries user. Why would the PC user move the files but not also zip them?

I would imagine that a test is being done. The directory was chosen just for the purpose of figuring out why RUNRMTCMD won’t properly execute WZZip.exe regardless of the directories. The normal scenario would involve an attempt to run WZZip.exe against files in a mapped drive to the IFS.

But if the mapping doesn’t resolve in the process started by RUNRMTCMD, then file handles might be reported as invalid. Maybe.

Where do you see the error?
