Add CHANGE in FCH and DSED support for zEDC compressed datasets.

Our project recently applied zEDC compress for most of the datasets we use. After the change, jobs that use FileManager's CHANGE command in the FCH function and DSED abend.

    This issue is fixed using the MEMORY option with FCH. It will not be supported for DSEB. See APAR PH52467 for FM Version 14 and APAR PH52661 for FM Version 15. After these are applied the usage of the MEMORY=YES option will ensure the FCH function with and without a PROC statement work with compressed data sets. Given FCH with a PROC will provide the equivalent of DSEB or DSU processing - we regard this requirement as having been delivered with the above maintenance.

    I can no longer see the status, may I have the current status?
    Even if compressed data sets are not available for the FCH function, I think user requirements would be satisfied if a message stating that SMS compressed data sets are not available is output at the time of JOB ABEND, as is the case with operations from the panel, so could you please consider this?
