ILE C/C++ Programmer's Guide

Compressing Objects

The Create Data (*CRTDTA) value associated with an ILE program or module may make up more than half of the object's size. By removing or compressing this data, you reduce the secondary storage requirements for your programs significantly.

An alternative is to compress the object through using the Compress Object (CPROBJ) command. A compressed object takes up less system storage than an uncompressed one. When the compressed program is called, the part of the object containing the executable code is automatically decompressed. You can also decompress an object by using the Decompress Object (DCPOBJ) command.
