Additions:
When compressing a directory file, EFBLK will be updated, but the blocks between EFBLK+1 and the highest block allocated will not be overwritten with zeroes, even if 'file high-water marking' is set.
$ CREATE/DIR/ALLOC=nnn will create .DIR file with zeroed blocks after EFBLK (if 'file high-water marking' is set).
Mark, what is your definition of 'empty blocks' - all zeroes ?
Volker.
