ZIP adapter stores without path

Customer wants a zip file from two input files. I have the ZIP adapter working to do this:

=VALID(PUT("ZIP", "FILE," + GETDIRECTORY(ZIPOut) + "output.zip, " + GETFILENAME(File1) + " " + GETFILENAME(File2), " "), "Failed ZIP")

The two input files are not in the same directory as the output zip or the map itself, so I have to provide the full path to the two input files.

As a result, in the output zip the two files are embedded in a directory structure.

The customer does not want this - the files in the zip need to present at the root level, without any paths.

Zip utilities provide this feature, RHEL zip use -j to "junk" the path of the input files.

Recommend a similar option that can be easily placed in the adapter commands.

What is your industry? Government
How will this idea be used?

Meets customer need, makes ZIP adapter more functional and more in line with long-standing features in the stand-alone zip utility world.

Making this a quick Needed By as the ITX Zip adapter has been stagnant for years and years and really needs updating to current industry standards.
