Out of curiosity, I have just tested my earlier suggestion of using DFDSS
logical dump, to dump a zEDC compressed dataset.
The resultant dump dataset is as small as the z/EDC compressed dataset,
which is what i had anticipated.
I then transferred it to another sysplex, restored it, and it appears to be
readable in the original format.
I was surprised that even though the dataclass used to compress on the
first site, wasnt present on the remote site, that doesnt seem to matter.

Note that I DIDNT use FTP for this, which would require an intermediate
terse/unterse to put the DFDSS dump into a format that FTP can cope with -
although there may be alternative methods to do this of course.
