Output

Output from the compression utility is handled in accordance with the setting of the CMPRS_SYSOUT_CL server-level parameter. The spool data sets (if they are allocated) will have the following prefixes:

• XB for compressions performed before a transfer, as in the case with COMPRESS_PDS=BEFORE or on a restarted transfer request
• XA for transfers performed after a transfer

The decimal transfer request number is appended to the prefix to provide a unique spool entry for each compression operation. This naming convention allows for the correlation of compression utility output with a specific file transfer if there is a need for problem determination research after the transfer.

Example:

For a request number 034271, the following spool entry names would apply:

• The output from the utility used to compress the PDS data set before the transfer would be named XB034271.
• For a compression performed after the data transfer, the SYSOUT dataset would be named XA034271.
