CL Command Reference - RCLTMPSTG
CL Command List > RCLTMPSTG Reference
Description:
The Reclaim Temporary Storage (RCLTMPSTG) command allows you to reclaim storage used by temporarily decompressed copies of panel groups, menus, display files, and printer files, thereby freeing up system storage space.
. Compressed Objects are objects that consume less storage space than decompressed objects. When a compressed object is used or a compressed program is called, a decompressed version of the object automatically becomes available to the user.
. Decompressed Objects are objects that use the system storage space allocated to them and are in a final, ready-to-use state.
. Temporarily Decompressed Objects. are temporarily decompressed copies of compressed objects. The system allocates storage space for the decompressed objects, which is consumed by the temporary copies until the system or the user determines that the temporary storage space needs to be reclaimed. Temporary storage is automatically reclaimed when:
¨C the RCLTMPSTG command is run
¨C the next IPL is run
¨C the object is used often enough to cause the system to permanently decompress it
When an object is permanently decompressed, the compressed version of the object is destroyed as well as any temporary forms of the object; however, compressed versions remain intact as long as the objects are temporarily decompressed.
Restrictions:
1. This command is shipped with public *EXCLUDE authority and the QPGMR, QSYSOPR, QSRV, and QSRVBAS user profiles have private authorities to use the command.
2. The user must have object management authority to the object specified and execute authority to the library.
Examples:
RCLTMPSTG LIB(QGPL)
This command reclaims the space consumed by all of the temporarily decompressed copies of objects in library QGPL that have not been used or changed in the last 7 days.
