The easiest method to compress a library for maintenance runs is to use
the SMP/E option COMPRESS(xxxxxx), or COMPRESS(ALL), where xxxxxx is the
name of the specific library(ies) to compress. SMP/E will delete all the
modules which are to be changed, then compress the library, then apply
the maintenance.

But God help you if IEBCOPY happens to be getting an update.!

But there is no subsitute to having SMP/E point to copies of the
datasets, and not trying your luck with the running stuff.
