  ========================
  IMS High Performance Load for z/OS Version 2 Release 1 User's
  Guide SC18-9222-05 ( SC18922205 ) should be changed as follows:
  ================================================================
    2.1.5   Control statements
    2.1.5.6 COMPRESS control statement
     :
    Notes:
      :
    -An unloaded data set that is created by the unload utilities
     of IMS High Performance Unload with the DECOMPRESS=NO option
  |  cannot be used if you want to change the size of the segment
  |  by reorganization.
  DELETE:
  |  that is to be compressed.
  DELETE:
  
  | 2.1.5.x PAD control statement
  |
  | Specify the padding character to use when the segment length
  | is increased due to DBD definition change.
  | This control statement is optional. If you do not explicitly
  | specify this control statement, PAD=X'00' is used.

  |
  | padding-character
  |   Code the value as two hexadecimal digits, for example X'nn'.
  |
  | Note:
  |   When the length of compressed segment is increased due to
  |   DBD definition change, you must create unload data set in
  |   decompressed format regardless of using PAD statement.
  |   Otherwise, the bytes in the extended area is unpredictable.
