Reclaim Resources Command

The Reclaim Resources (RCLRSC) command is designed to free the resources for programs that are no longer active. The command works differently depending on how the program was created. If the program is an OPM program or was created with DFTACTGRP(*YES), then the RCLRSC command will close open files and free static storage.

For ILE programs or service programs that were activated into the OPM default activation group because they were created with *CALLER, files will be closed when the RCLRSC command is issued. For programs, the storage will be re-initialized; however, the storage will not be released. For service programs, the storage will neither be re-initialized nor released.

Note:

This means that if you have a service program that ran in the default activation group and left files open, and a RCLRSC is issued, when you call the service program again, the files will still appear to be open, so so any I/O operations will result in an error.

For ILE programs associated with a named activation group, the RCLRSC command has no effect. You must use the RCLACTGRP command to free resources in a named activation group.

For more information on the RCLRSC command, refer to the CL and APIs section of the Programming category in the i5/OS Information Center at this Web site - http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/infocenter/. For more information on the RCLRSC and activation groups, refer to ILE Concepts.
