Jim: CPROBJ (Compress Object) is possibly not used as much now as it was a number of years ago, but there are situations where it's extremely useful. Depending on the types, numbers and sizes of the objects, a significant amount of space can be recovered. When shipping a bunch of objects inside savefiles, savefile sizes can be reduced 50% or more at times if objects are compressed before saves. As with most features, "It depends...". Create a test library or two, populate with various objects, and run some tests. Possible objects to try are both OPM and ILE programs, some SQL, some not, some immediately after compilation, some after having been run at least once, etc. YMMV.
