Try

zip/vms bc23backup.zip krSHNA$DKA100:[WORK...]*.* /exclude=(*.lis,*.
exe,*.zip,*.map)

No it is not working.

zip/vms "-V9" bc23backup.zip krSHNA$DKA100:[WORK.bc3.0...]*.* /exclude=(*.lis
,*.exe,*.map,*.obj,*.objd)

without "-V9"
-V = /vms
-9 = /level=9, will use more cpu to compress a little more. I would use /level=1 and default is 6.

If not working, do zip and tell us what version you are using.

Should i download new zip exe if yes from where i can

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

I'm using 2.1 but that should not be the problem.
Did you try
zip/vms bc23backup.zip krSHNA$DKA100:[WORK.bc3.0...] /exclude=(*.lis,*.exe,*.map,*.obj,*.objd)

WITHOUT the unix mode qualifiers ?
(My version is not accepting them)

Hi Deepak,
zip use unix style qualifier.
I guess your command mey be this:

zip "-V9" bc23backup.zip krSHNA$DKA100:[WORK.BC3.0...]*.* krSHNA$DKA100:[WORK...]-x *.lis,*.exe,*.map,*.obj,*.objd

Hello Deepak,

there has been quite a bit of confusion here
concerning zip commandline syntax. Zip can actually be build with a DCL style interface (/level=9 etc.) or the Unix style interface (-9). One important thing to note is that you can not mix and match the two interfaces. You either have to use all DCL or all Unix qualifiers.

Antonio gave you the right answer

zip "-9V" file.zip disk:[dir...]*.* -x *.ext1 *.ext2

will give the result you want. Attention: You do need the quotes around "-9V" ! Else the uppercase V will end-up eventually as a lowercase v when parsed by Zip and cause verbose operation instead of saving VMS file attributes.

Greetings, Martin

Hi All,

Its worked after Martin suggestion ie previously we are giving dcl -x command with comma's which was creating a problem so commas are not required in DCL command.
