The Active Jobs file often contains entries for jobs that are no longer needed (jobs with a status of DELETED or ENDED OK). Compression makes room in the Active Jobs file by physically removing these unneeded entries from the file. Removed entries are no longer displayed in the Status screen.
Note: The COMPRESS function saves the Active Jobs file as a BKP file prior to performing the actual file compression. Therefore, prior to running the COMPRESS function, a copy of the BKP file should be created in order to preserve the BKP file data of the last New Day run.
The compression function can also run in simulation mode. This can be done by specifying the SIMULATION statement after the COMPRESS statement. When running in simulation mode, the compress function only lists the jobs that would be removed from the active jobs file if 'real' compression were run, and does not actually remove any of them.
