I learned the hard way. It was the first upgrade I was part of, I came in in the middle and they were cutting corners applying to the live system. It really breaks when the attempt to apply a PTF to IEBCOPY blows space in LINKLIB and retry attempts to use the partially done copy of IEBCOPY to compress that active LINKLIB.
I noticed that, on slide 22 of his SHARE presentation, Ed recommends compressing SYS1.LINKLIB (and a few other key libraries) in advance of actually running the APPLY. That step might be intended to avoid exactly the sort of issue you're describing.
ISTR that in the old days IEBCOPY was designed differently than it is now; multiple load modules, perhaps even an overlay structure. Not any more.
