Might you have a LISTCAT ALL for these two files? I't would be good to get more detailed information on the compression. Rather looks like zEDC did not get used on both of these.

We went from z14 to z15's and didn't notice any difference in compression.
I would be curious to see listcat of both showing the user data size and the comp data size as well as the dataset DCB attributes.

Subject: zEDC compression on z13 and z15

We migrated from a z13 to a z15 this past weekend. We are running z/OS 2.2, z/OS 2.2 on the z13, and the same z/OS 2.2 on the z15. z15 maintenance was applied to z/OS 2.2, and activated a couple of months ago. We are using the same SMS configuration on the z15 as the z13, and that includes the zEDC compression Data Class.

I restored a dataset that was created on the z13 using zEDC compression, and needed to make a copy of the dataset on the z15. I was surprised to see an almost 20,000 track difference between the z13 created dataset, and the z15 created dataset. I used the same SMS Data Class to make the z15 version of the dataset.


Enter "/" to select action                        Tracks %Used
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Z13.CREATED.DATA.SET                         47550        99
Z15.CREATED.DATA.SET                         64555      100


SMS allocation messages for the z15 created dataset follows.

IGD17070I DATA SET Z15.CREATED.DATA.SET
ALLOCATED SUCCESSFULLY WITH 1 STRIPE(S).
IGD17160I DATA SET Z15.CREATED.DATA.SET
IS ELIGIBLE FOR COMPRESSION
IGD101I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME (SYSUT2  )
        DSN (Z15.CREATED.DATA.SET)
        STORCLAS (STANDARD) MGMTCLAS (DE180DAY) DATACLAS (COMP)
        VOL SER NOS= TL0018


I have not looked into the TCB/SRB I/O numbers of the
z13 creating job to compare against the z15 job.

Anyone have an idea as to why such a dramatic difference?
