/DATA=option This qualifier gives you additional capabilities for obtaining disk space efficiency. Note that you must specify an option with this qualifier, either the REDUCE option or the EXPAND option. Note too, that NCS does an implicit compression (recovers unused space from previously deleted files) on the library, whether you are converting the library to reduced form or to expanded form. If your NCS library is in standard (non-reduced) form, use this qualifier with the REDUCE option to create a new reduced version of the library. If you do not use the /LIBRARY qualifier to specify a library, NCS creates a new reduced version of NCS$LIBRARY.NLB in SYS$LIBRARY. Note that access to libraries in reduced format is generally slower. If your NCS library is in reduced form, use this qualifier with the EXPAND option to create a new expanded (standard) version of the library. If you do not use the /LIBRARY qualifier to specify a library, NCS creates a new, expanded version of NCS$LIBRARY.NLB in SYS$LIBRARY. Note that access to libraries in expanded (standard) format is generally faster. NCS provides no default values for this qualifier. You must select one of the two options.
