DUMPCLASS(ZCOMPRESS): Specifying whether to use zEDC Services on the dump data

Explanation: ZCOMPRESS is an optional subparameter specifying whether DFSMSdss is to use zEDC Services on the dump data.

Subparameter Explanation
ZCOMPRESS(YES) DUMPCLASS(ZCOMPRESS(YES)) When YES is specified, compression with zEDC will be performed, if this function is supported by the system. If zEDC Services are not available, the other compression type will be used.
ZCOMPRESS(NO) DUMPCLASS(ZCOMPRESS(NO)) When NO is specified, compression with zEDC will not be performed. ZCOMPRESS(NO) can be specified to override an existing setting of ZCOMPRESS(YES).

Defaults: When ZCOMPRESS is not specified and was not previously set in the existing dump class definition, NO is used by default.
