PS Data Set Limitations

CA Compress does not support updates to existing records. Replacing the entire data set or adding records to the end of an existing data set are the only output operations supported.

Because SAM-SI does not support reading backwards, data sets to be read backwards, for instance, some checkpoint data sets, should not be compressed.
