Jar command - extracting files using jar xf

[R.Khoury]

What about processing each zip file in the directory separately in a type of read loop and running jar (or ajar) against each zip file read? I know you can do this sort of thing in QShell - tho' I don't have the exact code right now. HTH

Jar command - extracting files using jar xf

Please help ! I have a CL program that currently extract a file from a certain directory. I am using the QSHELL and jar command to extract files. Example: jar xf /mydir/*.zip The problem I am having is the CLP doesn't seem to work (exit status is 0) if there is more than 1 zip file in the directory. Is there a way to extract all the files in this directory using the jar xf command ?? or maybe there is a better way to do this. Thank you for your help Julie
