Indexed files can be Zipped and Unzipped when the /VMS qualifier is used. All VMS and RMS attributes of Indexed files will be preserved when /VMS is used on the Zip command line.

The existing structure of the file is saved and restored. Zipping and Unzipping an indexed file will NOT help to restructure the file.
