Hi All,

I am trying to unzip a file (sample.zip) in Linux server from DataStage using the following command, but it is not unzipping and I am not getting any error.
Basically I need to unzip any kind of compressed file. I can go with any kind of options. Please help me on this.

ex:

unzip /data/sample.zip

Thanks,
Venkata

Why don't we start with... the error(s) you get. I could guess but I'd rather not.

I didn't get any error. It is saying that it is processed.

Thanks,

Sorry - missed that part. So I would wager it is working fine just not putting the files where you'd really like them. Have you looked in the Project directory? Without directions to the contrary in your unzip command, the files will end up in the "current working directory" which for a running job is the project it lives in. Use the -d option to specify the target directory.

Thank you Craig,

The following option is working fine for me.

Use the -d option to specify the target directory.

Thank you again.

Thanks,
