I'm assuming the Server Pac install (z/os 1.7) used copymod to populate the linklib originally. There has been updates and deletes from maintenance being applied. I did compress the library before my copymod test. Copymod must be cleaning up some things in the process. As I said earlier, we usually use copy rather than copymod unless circumstances require copymod (blksize changes, device changes etc.).
