No need to compress. JES2 is dealing with it on its own by re-opening
the library after the I/O error.   If you compress at that point, you
will run into a problem again (which JES2 will again deal with).

Not an issue for PDSE.   There... to jump into another thread with all the
PDSE bashing... this is one thing that is good.   We changed our 
JES2 PROCLIBs to PDSE years ago because of this (long before dynamic
proclib support).   Also good in LNKLST... PDSE only counts as 1 extent.
