However it didn't work. According to the error message ADR472E 72 :

You specified a specific volume, so I assumed a non-sms volume.

The OS does not guarantee space, the phrase indicates that the user will
guarantee there is space. That is, the normal operation for SMS is to locate
space on an appropriate volume; guaranteed space subverts this normal process
and uses the VOLSER value the user has coded.

It is not a dumb question. The OP said 'one of the TSO user compressed the PDS

You are correct.
Since the problem is with a PROCLIB, restoring it to the same Volume is not
as relevant as restoring to the same TTRs. If it gets restored to the same
volume, but not the same TTRs, then you will still need to open/close
proclibs in-order to get JES2 to refresh its

As one who has done it as part of a larger product, it is a bear.
If you don't mind a few false positives, then just parsing for the word COPY
and picking off the next token (as someone else wrote), and optionally OF
ddname, will get you there.
COBOL syntax is downright ugly, and doing it
FIXPDS does a good job of recovering 'old' copies of members. Have used it
many times for broken and not backed up datasets. Some groups are worse
than others about compressing w/o looking at condition codes!

Personally, I'd really prefer to have someone do a compile of the source,
using the ADATA compile parameter. Output the ADATA to a sequential data
set (or member of a PDS), then read that. The compiler has done 99.9% of
the hard work at this point.
