| The trouble with Reclaim Resources |
![]() |
![]()
by Ron Turull
It isn't uncommon for an application to execute the Reclaim Resources command (RCLRSC) periodically as a "garbage-collecting" device to improve performance. And programs sometimes rely on the command to free static memory, close open files and free other resources. But watch out if you need to have the program start fresh and execute a RCLRSC in the calling program before calling the RPG program. The RCLRSC command will not work if you convert the whole thing to ILE and tell it to run in an activation group other than the default.
There are things you can do, however, to help you avoid problems with the Reclaim Resources command as it relates to RPG programs.

Will too many data paths cause poor performance?
One user was having performance problems with a particular batch job. On examination, the job had more than 2,000 open data paths -- mostly over the same files. He wondered if that was the cause of his performance problems. Site expert John Brandt felt certain that it was, and explained how the RCLRSC command could help.
Process a job under a different library list
Sometimes there's a need to process a job under a different library list, without using a job description to set the library list. When the job ends, it is preferable to reset the library list back to its original values. Search400.com member Shankar Narayan shows you how, making use of the RCLRSC command.
