COMPRESS, EXPAND


The COMPRESS keyword is valid with the RELOAD command. You can specify the COMPRESS option in a Reload function global options module or in PLUSIN.

The EXPAND keyword is valid with the REORG (Online Reorg function and Reorg function) and UNLOAD commands. You can specify the EXPAND option in an Unload function or Reorg function global options module or in PLUSIN; however, the Reorg function ignores the EXPAND specification in a global options module.

The following table describes the keywords.
