OOH, OOH, question:: But the OP was asking about converting his "user" LNKLST PDS to PDSE just for the sake of eliminating the need to COMPRESS.
Here's my ask for I know not the answer and deem this question germane to the discussion. I have a LLA PDSE of 10 cyl. I am adding to it, or replacing in it, and it takes an extent. Does the LLA REFRESH pick up the extent? What if I forget to do the LLA REFREHS and an extent has been taken? Also, if SMS stuff is supposed to be active for PDSE, what happens to a LLA version during IPL?
