Details
When you specify COMPRESS=YES|BINARY|CHAR,
the SPD Engine compresses, by blocks, the data component file as it
is created. To specify the size of the compressed blocks, use the
IOBLOCKSIZE= Data Set Option when you create the data set.
To add padding to the newly compressed blocks, specify PADCOMPRESS= Data Set Option when creating or updating the data set. For more information,
see Compressing SPD Engine Data Sets.
