The following changes have been implemented for BS2ZIP V21.0A20:
EXTRACT-FILE statement:
With operand CHARACTER-CONVERSION it is possible to define a source and target coded character set that is used for conversion of SAM or ISAM files during extraction.
Several commands were extended with parameter *PATH-NAME for specifying Unix/Windows compatible file names without interpreting special characters (* or / ) as BS2000 wildcards. These commands with their parameters are ADD-FILE TO-FILE, DELETE-FILE FILE-NAME, EXTRACT-FILE FILE-NAME, SHOW-FILE-ATTRIBUTES FILE-NAME.
SHOW-FILE-ATTRIBUTES will show unavailable attributes of Gzip archive members as NOT AVAILABLE.
The new S variable LAST-BYTE-VALID was added to structured output of SHOW-FILE-ATTRIBUTES command.
Minor changes were done to the descriptions of command ADD-FILE and its parameters TO-FILE and DATA-TYPE to clarify behavior of the program.
