I give you a minor slap on your fingers. <g> I add DD names to the SMPE JCL to point to the new temporary copies of the libraries. Then apply the maintenance to the temporary libraries.
When that is finished, I will compress the temporary libraries, then first try to copy them to the real ones. This sometimes works better if I empty the real libraries first, then compress them also. All this assumes that I'm using indirect volume addressing through the catalog and have SMPE pointing directly to an alternate copy of the libraries on another volume. I also run SMPE APPLY function with the COMPRESS(ALL) option, which causes it to delete all members being changed from the library, then compress the library before applying the maintenance.
