Howdy do. When I have an open SAM DCB (OUTPUT, if that matters) I want to be able to find out if the data set is a DASD compressed data set. Can this be done?
AFAIK, compressed sequential data sets must be extended-format data sets, but extended-format data sets do not have to be compressed data sets. When using a DCBE with the DCB, DCBENSTR can be tested and if zero the data set is not extended format - and therefore I think can't be a compressed data set. But, if DCBENSTR is non-zero, then the data set is an extended-format (and therefore DASD) data set, but can I tell if it is a compressed data set or not? (I only mention DASD explicitly here so we don't go down the tape compaction cul-de-sac.) Thanks a bunch.
