Execution environment

You can execute pdreclaim only while HiRDB is running.
Execute pdreclaim at the server machine that contains the single server or the system manager.
To execute pdreclaim, set the LANG environment variable. To use character codes that are not supported by the OS in an environment in which pdreclaim is executed, you must set the PDLANG environment variable. For details about LANG and PDLANG, see the HiRDB Version 9 UAP Development Guide.
You can execute pdreclaim on an RDAREA as long as it is in open status. If you specify the -j option, we recommend that you place the RDAREA in open and command shutdown status. For details about whether or not pdreclaim can be executed, see Appendix C. RDAREA Status During Command Execution.
You cannot execute multiple pdreclaim commands on the same table or indexes at the same one time (if executed, an error results). You can execute multiple pdreclaim commands concurrently on individual RDAREAs storing tables or indexes.
