If you explain what this means to you, someone should have a suggestion.

For most of us, file buffers are memory used to hold input/output record images being read or written by some executing code.

Our JCL is recieving two files from the vendor. Both in encrypted and zip format. I am able to decrypt both the files and also able to unzip the files.
But the problem is when I unzip the second files , outfile stores the content of first file.

So I am not able to unzip the second file. Problem may be due to file buffers. That's why I need to know how to clear the file buffers.

Are they being unzipped in the same step or separate steps? Have you tried unzipping the second file with out doing the first?
