I've never seen anything that says COMPRESS(ALL) will delete members being changed. The Commands manual states only:
If you specify ALL, any libraries in which elements will be installed by this APPLY command are compressed. Can you provide a reference in one of the manuals that indicates the members will be deleted before compress?
