A couple months ago I was in the process of retrieving the size of a data set 
on disk until I came across a flag in one or more DSCBs that indicate whether 
or not the data set is compressed.  This was the point at which I stopped 
coding, concluding that it was probably not possible to come up with an 
accurate uncompressed size if the data set resided on a SAN with compression 
turned on.  Is my thinking off-base here?  (of course, I have no interest in 
reading the file to determine the actual uncompressed length) 

Thanks, Mike
