By 'compress', I mean plain old IEBCOPY to squeeze out the gas left by deleted members. I realize after my previous post that I now routinely create SMPPTS% as PDSE, so compression is not an option. Back when multiple SMPPTS% became available, SMPE/E would try to compress every PTS% that got x37. Every time. The only thing wrong with that is the churn in I/O and CPU plus SYSPRINT lines trying futilely on every RECEIVE to compress a full PDS. The SMP/E OPTIONS entry allows for list of exceptions for RECOVERY, but I don't have any DDDEFs listed there.
