Off hand, without having coded it, I'd say that I'd try to use REXX. I'd OUTTRAP the contents of a LISTC. For each NONVSAM entry, I'd do a LISTDSI to check. If the RC=0 and the DSORG=PO, then I'd ALLOCATE it and then call IEBCOPY to do the actual compress. I think that ADRDSSU uses IEBCOPY to do the actual compress.
Ummm.. You're suggesting I write my own utility. That is precisely what I was trying to avoid by using DSS in the first place!
