POVF {(options}

Options

P Sends the report to the printer.

V Displays details of the overflow table. Contiguous space is shown with the beginning and ending FID (Frame Identifier) of each block and the total number of frames in the block. At the bottom of the report, the total number of available linked frames and the total number of contiguous frames are shown.

Recommendation

If the total number of contiguous frames is less than the 20% of the available space, you need to collect the linked space with the CLAIM command.
