It shuts down all subsystems, runs RCLSTG and restarts subsystems

Probably best to do a PWRDWNSYS restart after running RCLSTG if
you were to use this on a production box.

It's not pretty but it works.

<<SNIP BCHTIMLMT() CLP to effect reclaim *dbxref>>


There would be little value to perform a PWRDWNSYS after reclaiming the DB cross-reference. In fact, just the opposite. The system jobs QDBSRVXR & QDBSRVXR2 [or iASP equivalents] that perform the work of the reclaim run asynchronous to the requester of RCLSTG, and so powering down stops the processing, thus making those jobs continue where they left-off when they were interrupted by the PwrDwn.

FWiW: For a RCLSTG SELECT(*ALL), there was long ago a functional benefit to powering down just before that request, with a side effect of some impact to its performance [similar to saves after IPL versus delaying saves until after normal system utilization over several hours]. A design change eliminated the pwrdwn as a pre-requisite to obtain the alluded benefit, but having added an improbable but potentially highly-negative side effect, which AFaIK has never been corrected.
