Re: reclaim storage

I don't recall it ever causing problems.
The length of time it takes to run can significantly vary based on your 
machine layout, etc.  The length of time does not seem to be affected by 
the interval between runs.  We can run one that takes 14 hours.  IPL.  Run 
it again and it will take another 14 hours.  Other machines run in under 
an hour.
We run it every 8 weeks.  Sometimes if major upgrades are planned we may 
skip it that time to save some time.
We have had to perform an unscheduled scheduled downtime because we 
skipped it once and an issue came up that required it.  And, NOT, just a 
RCLSTG *DBXREF.
ALWAYS run a full RCLSTG after a full system restore.
