Please tell me about following.
I have the following configurations at a customer site.

 A customer sent me a problem report. He tried  compress file copy to RWZ52 mo 
disk. and he copy file to local disk from RWZ52 mo disk. and He tried 
uncompress.But Error happen.

 "not in compressed format"

# compress a.txt
# ls -l a.txt.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 xxx xxxx	831 Feb 13 19:51 a.txt.Z
#
# mv a.txt.Z /rwz52/local
# -wz52/local/a.txt.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 xxx xxxx	831 Feb 13 19:51 a.txt.Z
#
# mv /rwz52/local/a.txt.Z /local
# ls -l /local/a.txt.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 xxx xxxx	 56 Feb 13 19:51 a.txt.Z

I don't know anything about the RWZ52, but look at your ls output:
the file lost most of its text in the second "mv".  Looks like there was
some kind of I/O error or something.
