Enable DSN1COMP to work on compressed tablespace data

We want DSN1COMP to be able to work with compressed table data. These days we've got an usecase, where we needed to check, if a new compression dictionary will saves us some MB/GB in a nearly completly full tablespace. Because of his size, we were not able to uncompress its data first to run DSN1COMP. So we decided to don't rebuild the dictionary and run more often REORGs (with KEEP DICTIONARY of course). But that's just the savest way für us, not our favourite one.

    Janet,

    I do not know why you are sending these DSN1COMP messages to me. However, this is a restricted Email address and I would appreciate it if you would remove me from your system.

    Thank you,
