| Syntax | reclaim-ovf {(options} |
| Category | TCL |
| Type | Verb |
| Description | allows the user to recover all frames not used by the system to the overflow space, thus eliminating the necessity of a file-save/restore. |
| Options |
b initiates the overflow reclamation process in the background.
f displays the file names as they are scanned. i reuses the same pre-allocated workspace. k kills the overflow reclamation process n user specifies the number of pre-allocated frames (without n-option, 100 frames will be pre-allocated as default). r resumes a previously suspended RECLAIM-OVF. s inquires status of the overflow reclamation process. u unconditionally kills the RECLAIM-OVF process. x suspend the currently active RECLAIM-OVF process. |

| Example | |
| Warnings |
The overflow reclamation process will abort if not enough frames are pre-allocated to build the new overflow table. A good rule of thumb is to allocate two times the number of leaves of the current overflow table.
Reclaim-ovf re-initializes the spooler control block; therefore all hold files are lost. |
