Re: [MI400] Compressing a savf file

[José Luis Calvo <jlcalvo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I test compress a SAVF  using CPYFRMSTMF to copy it to the IFS, and then
compress that with a Java program (using the Zip support of the language).
It work fast, and the size was 1/5. Of course the compression rate depends
on the data you have.

I think using MI must have a best result (in speed).
