Ahhh.. there's an advantage I didn't mention (but it wasn't related
to COMPRESS).  PDSE always counts as 1 extent in the LNKLST, so if it
takes an extent and you REFRESH / UPDATE LLA, you will pick up the changes.
If you run with a large LNKLST that is running close to the 255 extent 
limit, this could help you out (if you like running with secondaries 
in the LNKLST and update the libraries).

Not sure if I understand the qustion.  Are you confusing LNKLST with LLA?
LLA is not active during NIP.  There is support in NIP to process a 
PDSE in the LNKLST.
