Installing and using z/OS® Extensions
z/OS® Extensions is a component of IBM® Rational® ClearCase® that enables mainframe users to perform select DevOps Code ClearCase operations. z/OS Extensions include Remote Build, TSO Client, and ClearCase RAM (CCRAM).
Using the TSO Client feature
Use the TSO Client feature to perform DevOps Code ClearCase® operations on the distributed system without leaving the mainframe system environment.
Working with files
After you set up your environment, choose your view, and upload your files to the remote system, you can use the client component of TSO Client to perform basic file tasks with the files associated with your chosen view.
Compressing partitioned data sets
You can use the client component of TSO Client to compress partitioned data sets.

Compressing partitioned data sets

You can use the client component of TSO Client to compress partitioned data sets.

About this task

When a partitioned data set is full or there is not enough available space for it, uploading the PDS can fail. If you need more space for a PDS, you can compress the PDS and then try the upload action again.

Procedure

To compress a partitioned data set, do these steps:

On the option line of the TSO Client Main Menu, type 4.
On the left side of the Dataset Action panel under DSLIST, type z next to one or more data sets you want to compress and press Enter.
If the selected data set is not a PDS (such as a PDSE), TSO Client issues a message that the selected data set cannot be compressed.
