COMPRESS_FILE <filename>
Forces c-treeACE to create data files whose names match the specified name with data compression enabled. The file name may include wildcard characters (see c-treeACE Standard Wildcards).
A file whose name matches the keyword is created as a variable-length data file even if the create option specifies that it is a fixed-length data file. Such a file is still restricted to containing records that have the defined fixed-record length.
The logic has been changed so that the COMPRESS_FILE keyword does not enable data compression for a data file that is created with resource support disabled. This prevents a rebuild from failing with error 484 (could not open sort work file).
