reclaim-ovf command

.md

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

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

Syntax

reclaim-ovf {(options}

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 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.
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 re-initializes the spooler control block. Therefore, all hold files are lost.
