Anyone:

The sysut3 and sysut4 restriction from the fine manual I believe syas there should be a specific allocation. IT seems reasonable to me that indeed if there is a restriction it at the minimum should be documented in the CURRENT manual and *IF* these are dynamically allocated should be done as per the fine manual.

Anyone up to a doc apar and a TSO APAR ?

There's nothing special about SYSUT3 and SYSUT4. TSO allocates whatever is in the logon proc.

Very True! Before issueing 'Z' in =3.4 or 'C' in =3.1, you can use ISRDDN to see if you have SYSUT3/4 allocated or not. If it is indeed pre-allocated in TSO logon proc, they will be used.

If not pre-allocated, the background services (PDF interface utility) will allocate them.

In my case, SYSUT3/4 are not pre-allocated in my TSO logon proc, but are allocated, used during compress and then freed.

To the OP:

I see an interesting sample which can be useful to prevent gray hairs :-D during a compress:

ISP.SISPSAMP(ISRCMPEX) - This sample will prevent compressing any SYS1. datasets.

I also see you can use COMPRESS_UTILITY_PROGRAM_EXIT or COMPRESS_UTILITY_CLIST_EXIT. With them you can write something to do a backup automagically before continue to do a compress. Or you can selectively prevent compress at all.

Thanks Shmuel for your kind post.
