Thanks for all the comments from everyone. They were useful, relevant, and 
confirmed what I guessed.
I built a new PDS/E Library and planned to pick it up as each LPAR was IPLed.
In the end, the Compress while in use was enough. The free space should last 
until after I retire, again.
This group is great!
Thanks again,
Out.
