reclaim-ovf Command

For Windows: Not Supported

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.

NOTE	To run reclaim-ovf you must be connected to line 0. For example, run the command d3tcl -p0.

Syntax

reclaim-ovf {(options}

Synonym(s)

:reclaim-ovf

Parameter(s)

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 preallocated 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.

CAUTION

The overflow reclamation process aborts if not enough frames are pre-allocated to build the new overflow table. It is advised to allocated two times the number of leaves of the current overflow table.

The reclaim-ovf command reinitializes the spooler control block; therefore, all hold files are lost.
