Compress Data Compression for MVS

Issue/Introduction

 How can files be decompressed if Compress is not active in the system? 

Resolution

As long as you keep your FDTLIB and control file, the data can be expanded. Use the CCVBJCL(SHR2EXP2) which is in the Install libs. 

This should allow the files to be expanded without having Compress executing on the system.
