Is anyone exploiting ZEDC data compression accelerator in your environments?   
We recently licensed the enablement and are working through the issues in our 
DEV environment.

We initially enabled Extended Format/COMPACT ZP, for all DSORG PS datasets, but 
are quickly finding that DFSORT, SAS, ISPF recovery datasets all have issues.   
We’ve turned back off for now.

There is no central location in any IBM doc(including recent REDBOOKS) that 
discusses where we can and cannot leverage ZEDC.   As it stands now, we had to 
back out, and looking at taking a new approach in our ACS routines checking for 
DSORG=PS, and then if not temp-dataset, or tape assign a DC with the right 
options.

What I am wondering is if anyone is further along that can share how they 
rolled out?   I really don’t want to have to make the applications teams have 
to “opt-in” by coding a DC in their JCL or other dataset allocations.
