Answer Wiki:
It's not possible to unzip files natively on the iSeries, however there is a version of PKZIP for the iSeries that will allow you unzip files on the iSeries. www.pkware.com ================================================== The simplest answer is usually to review the <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/rzaha/jar.htm">Java jar tool</a>. Note the link on that page to Sun's documentation. Also note the reference to the <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/rzaha/javatool.htm">Java ajar tool</a>. There may be particular requirements such as transferring files in binary mode, passwords on the .zip file, etc., that the creator of the file will have to help with. PKZip/Unzip is available as a commercial and supported product. Web site is noted above. Tom

July 13, 2010 – List Contents of Zip Files on i – Whether you create a .zip file on the PC, Mac, or right on an i system, you can view the contents of the .zip on the green screen of the i itself. In this week’s Tuesday Tip, Bob Cozzi reviews how to create a .zip file on i and then illustrates the command available to list a directory of the files stored in a .zip, regardless of where it was created.
