RE: Reclaim storage question

The last one we ran was submitted on a 620 by an M.I.S. manager who left the 
company 7 years ago. I haven't run one since I inherited operations from him 
(all the while upgrading from the 620 to an 820 to our 520).

Corrupted objects on i5/OS are pretty common

I'd have to disagree with that statement.  I have only encounter 1
corrupted object on the AS/400, iSeries, i5, whatever in 11 years of
working on the platform.  I can't count how many times I've have
corrupted objects on other platforms including Crapple & Windoze....


Thanks,

We just run them every 8 weeks.  There are some listers that will go
into 
a spastic fit because we run them on a regular basis.  However,
scheduling 
downtime can be difficult and when we have it scheduled we really like
to 
jam in the maintenance.

Not that it does any good with some of IBM's performance tools BS.  Even

after running a RCLSTG we were still having troubles saving some *MGTCOL

objects in QMPGDATA and QMGTC2.  Now we save all *MGTCOL objects to a
save 
file prior to doing a GO SAVE -21 just to delete any corrupted ones.  It

was that consistent.  Corrupted objects on i5/OS are pretty common.
