The GIMZIP service routine has been enhanced with a new SEGMENT option to allow you to specify the maximum size for the network transportable objects produced by GIMZIP. Very large objects will be divided into archive segments that are within the specified size. The GIMUNZIP service routine and the RECEIVE FROMNETWORK and RECEIVE FROMNTS commands will now accept network packages that contain archive segments as input. For more information about the GIMZIP and GIMUNZIP service routines, see SMP/E for z/OS Reference. For more information about the RECEIVE command, see SMP/E for z/OS Commands.

Also, you can use the SMPWKDIR DD statement to specify a location for temporary files produced during GIMZIP processing.
