DEFLATE compression

If you use DEFLATE compression in HULFT, you can specify environment variables in the CEEOPTS statement and adjust the threshold to use zEDC.

To adjust the threshold, use "_HZC_DEFLATE_THRESHOLD" (compression) and "_HZC_INFLATE_THRESHOLD" (expand) of the environment variables.

To use zEDC for all DEFLATE requests, specify "1" for the environment variable.

To perform DEFLATE compression with the OS settings, you do not need to set the environment variable, and thus you do not need to specify the CEEOPTS DD status. In this case, HULFT uses OS setting values to perform DEFLATE compression.

For details, refer to the following z/OS manuals:

z/OS Language Environment Programming Guide
Integrated Accelerator for zEDC

Startup JCL for the Send program
