Re: How to retrieve the data compression method of a save file?

Michael,

I tried to dump 3 save files I created with different DTACPR settings. Dumps do not tell me anything, but I also copied those save files to the IFS with CPYTOSTMF command.
In the files with *MEDIUM and *HIGH I saw two suspicious strings at the same position:L D_TRS (for *MEDIUM,uses TERSE algorythm) and LD_LZ1 (for *HIGH, uses LZ1 algorytthm)
I could not see anything for files withour or with LOW compression.
