The reclaim-ovf BASIC program allows the user to recover all frames not used by the system to the overflow space, thus eliminating the necessity of a file-save/restore. The number of lost frames that are recovered displays at the completion of the frame scan process.
For Windows: Not Supported
reclaim-ovf {(options}
:reclaim-ovf
options | b | Initiates the overflow reclamation process in the background. |
f | Displays the file names as they are scanned. | |
i | Reuses the same preallocated workspace. | |
k | Kills the overflow reclamation process. | |
n | User specifies the number of preallocated frames (without n option, 100 frames are pre-allocated as default). | |
r | Resumes a previously suspended reclaim-ovf. | |
s | Inquires status of the overflow reclamation process. | |
u | Unconditionally kills the reclaim-ovf process. | |
x | Suspends the currently active reclaim-ovf process. |
The reclaim-ovf command re-initializes the spooler control block. Therefore, all hold files are lost.
