If anyone needs a tool like this please let me know. I have in which you
can control the zip compression level, and also let's you supply a
password.

Perhaps I'm just behind the times here, but I have always used save
files to move data around between iSeries boxes. The savobj command
supports data compression, are you saying that the ZIP format is more
efficient?

Yes. It may depend on the save file compression rate, but I often get
more than a 90% rate when ziping a save file.

Regardless of how efficient the Zip format is, it is a much more
useful format if you are trying to move data between an iSeries and
something other than an iSeries.

Depending on the os version you're running, from V5R4 and above you can
use LZ1 compression specifying DTACPR(*HIGH) on SAV* commands, that's
the same compression used by zip.
