SQUEEZE

The SQUEEZE option specifies to BMC AMI Copy whether to consolidate the rows on a table space page so that all of the free space on the page is contiguous.

The SQUEEZE option specifies to BMC AMI Copy whether to consolidate the rows on a table space page so that all of the free space on the page is contiguous. This consolidation enables more effective data compression (whether accomplished by software or by hardware) by decreasing the media space required for copy data sets. For more information about media space savings, see Row-consolidation-SQUEEZE and for other information about compressing copy data sets, see COMPRESS.
