Just to clarify.....
My earlier response to this message was based on and ADSM MVS/OS390 server.
Other server platforms may be more effective in compressing data.

Folks,

we are new with 3590 and i would like to know: can i trust the
IBM specs which promise a compression ratio of 3:1 (or even
4:1)?

TIA
