Hi,

I have two different GDGs, ABC.XYZ(0) and ABC.LMN(0). I need to zipp the files in a single. The file names in the zip file should be changed to "REPORT1.TXT" AND "REPORT2.TXT".

When the fully resolved GDG name is provided the pkzip utility works fine. However I am unable to use the relative generation level, it creates a hierarchy as ABC/XYZ/G001V00.txt.

My SYSIN card is as follows

Have you checked the PKZIP manual to see what it says about GDG processing?

Yes, I have... According to the Manual, we can specify relative generation level in INFILE command.

Hello,

Between the run that works and the run that does not, what changes are made to either the jcl or the control statements?

Also, please post the informational messages presented for each run.

When a completely resolved GDG name is specified, the zip file is as expected. When the relational generation level is specified, the datasets are not renamed. The Zip file would have a folder ABC which contains folder XYZ, which in turn contains the file with name as G001V00.

In both cases the job doe not abend and the files are zipped, but as stated above the results are not as expected

I Have also tried the command -SELECT_NOGDGALL, but with no success

Sounds like it's time to contact the vendor to find out why the program is behaving in this way. It may be WAD, in which case you can accept the behavior or you can use fully qualified GDG names.
