The original post of K. Zafiropoulos was highly problematic: directory block usage is a function of member count, not storage usage. This has now presumably been made clear to him|her.
If now 'gas', DASD space wasted because that occupied by version i of a PDS member is not recovered when it is replaced by version i + 1 of that member----can only be reclaimed by compressing that PDS---then it is all but certrain that this PDS should be replaced by a PDSE; and Mr|Ms Zafiropoulos needs to understand that this is the case. That said, Lizette's request for more information is certainly appropriate.
