ZipDatasets (IBM JZOS Toolkit API)

java.lang.Object
- com.ibm.jzos.sample.ZipDatasets

```
public class ZipDatasets
extends java.lang.Object
```
A sample Java main class that can be invoked to create a Zip archive from one or more datasets or PDS members. Datasets are treated as text and converted from EBCDIC to ASCII (ISO8859-1) or to the specified target codepage.
Details on the input arguments to this class are available by executing the main method with no arguments. (see usage())

Example: Zip several partitioned datasets to a Unix zip file:
```
com.ibm.jzos.sample.ZipDatasets test.zip sys1.proclib(asm*) hlq.**.jcl 
```
Example: Zip all datasets matching two patterns to a dataset:
```
com.ibm.jzos.sample.ZipDatasets //hlq.backup.zip payroll.*.data gl.**.dat*
```
Example: Zip data using DDs and input and output:
```
com.ibm.jzos.sample.ZipDatasets //DD:ZIPOUT //DD:INSEQ1 //DD:INPDS1 //DD:INPDS2(FOO*)
```
Since:

2.3.0
