I have a field populated with all zeroes defined as

     FILLER1  CHAR(26)  UPPERCASE.

Inorder to compress the field, must I list all 26 zeroes in the COMPRESS phrase

     FILLER1  CHAR(26)  UPPERCASE  COMPRESS  '00000000000000000000000000'

or can I compress it using this

     FILLER1  CHAR(26)  UPPERCASE  COMPRESS  '0'.

Thanks.
