RE: How to compress data in RPGLE and save it in a file and restore it as needed?

["Bob cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are two MI instructions that compress and decompress data in a field.
They are really meant for long fields; since a "header" is inserted into the
field's compressed data you could end up with a longer field value than you
started with.
