I just learned about, and turned on, COMPRESS(TAILORED) in SMS. Things were working OK, then we had a user job abend because the region size was too small (213-ED abend, with 378 abend also showing); trying to browse the dataset after that got 213-E0. We were able to recover this job and change the region size, but it did raise a question:
Once I have turned on tailored compression, if I wanted to switch back to the generic version, what would happen to any datasets that were compressed with tailored compression? Would I have to identify them somehow and uncompress them before turning the option off?
