HWCOMPR — Is the Data set Hardware Compressed (yes/no)

For this selection test to be true the format-1 DSCB DS1STRP and DS1COMPR bits must be set, that is, the data set is eligible for hardware compression.

For example, to select POE data sets that are hardware compressed, code:

SELECT CRITERIA=(PSORG,EQ,PSE,AND,HWCOMPR,EQ,YES)

To select VSAM data sets that are hardware compressed, code:

SELECT CRITERIA=(DSORG,EQ,VSAM,AND,HWCOMPR,EQ,YES)

Note: Hardware compression is only available for extended sequential and extended KSDS data set organizations.
