START Command

To use CA Compress, issue the START (S) command to start the CA Compress subsystem:

S ZSAMT

Note: Throughout this section, we assume that the started task JCL member is ZSAMT, as shipped. If you have chosen a different name, adjust the example accordingly.

After subsystem initialization, CA Compress issues the following message:

ZSUR000I ZSAMT NOW ACTIVE - VERSION x.x.x, y.y.y HBBnnnn, DFSMS z.z.z

Note: JES2 users: Because a job can be interpreted on any system, CA Compress must be started on all systems in a Multi-Access Spool configuration, and on the system where the job using CA Compress is running.

JES3 users: CA Compress must be started on the global CPU, on any system on which a job can be interpreted, and on the system where the job using
CA Compress is running.
