We still RCLSTG and IPL every 8 weeks.  At that time we also apply all
cum's and group ptf's.  Some people may say why fix something that isn't
broke, but they probably don't read the list of hiper and security ptf's.

As far as doing this because of space - I have to say that was negligible.
 Back when our biggest machine was a CISC box we had to ipl that one more
often because it wouldn't make it 8 weeks before temporary addresses
filled up.  Upgrading that to RISC cut our downtimes in half.

Hi Everybody -

Once upon a time, far, far ago, I used to run the RCLSTG command to
recover
inaccessible storage space. In addition, I used to bring down the 400
every
couple of weeks for the purpose of re-generating addresses and cleaning
whatever I thought could be cleaned up!

Are these procedures still necessary for optimizing storage and address
usage or are there other measures now to take to keep a "mean and clean"
box?

Thanks for your time,

Rick Rayburn
