Using a compressed copy without expansion


If the utility is performing the Copy Image Copy function and is using a compressed image copy as input, the utility can perform a physical copy without expanding the data.

Bypassing the expansion of the data can save a significant amount of time and resources.

The ASIS keyword controls whether the data is expanded during the Copy Image Copy function.

To request that the utility use a compressed copy with expansion, specify ASIS(Y) on a valid control statement or in an options module.
