We consider peculiarities of the evolution of a current sheet formed in a vicinity of the X-type null-line in the plasma, which is confined by the rigid walls. It is shown that such boundary conditions result in an abrupt and significant change of the current sheet magnetic structure and transformation of the current sheet into the elliptical Z-pinch.
