Re: RCLSTG on IPL?

I checked the docs and see v7r1 shows the command has ALLOW(*ALL), whereas the v6r1 shows only ALLOW(*INTERACT *IPGM *IREXX *EXEC) such that the RCLSTG is allowed only in an /interactive/ environment in that older release. But of course there are *no change indicators* in the 7.1 docs :-(

AFaIK there should be no harm in just changing the command(s) named RCLSTG in an earlier release, as I noted in my earlier reply. While I recall the RCLSTG may have been updated to present a progress panel, it must be optional, i.e. no 5250 device required, because I had never had any difficulty performing batch reclaim tests in the lab. But be sure to implement that Change Command request as part of the System Change Management; at least for your current release. Of course even if the change gets applied on newer releases, such a change would just be redundant; i.e. if the changed 7.1 doc can be trusted.

Not sure what release is being used, but the docs I recall reviewing
[would've been v7r1 InfoCenter] showed the Allowed-to-run in
environments listed as *ALL. If DSPCMD of the RCLSTG being issued
does not show every value for the "Where allowed to run" [i.e. *IMOD
*BMOD *IREXX *BREXX *BPGM *IPGM *EXEC *INTERACT *BATCH], then you
will want to issue the following:
CHGCMD RCLSTG ALLOW(*ALL) /* library-qualify as appropriate */

I wrote recently on it.comp.as400 [which Google underhandedly,
effectively obliterated] in response to an inquiry about using the
BCHTIMLMT, but apparently I was wrong about v5r3 for the change:

Since v5r3 I believe... when the command was changed to
ALLOW(*ALL) to avoid CPD0031 [or a warning on compile per
CPD0772]. <<SNIP>>
