i am working on unix - ksh

trying to unzip a .gz file

and when i executed the below, in my command prompt in ksh

gunzip abc.gz

it was throwing the message below:

gunzip: abc.gz: unexpected end of file -

pls advise what is the reason for it..i am pretty sure the .gz file had no issues.

So is the name of filename is like

file.tar.gz

or simply

.gz
