re: BEGINNER'S QUESTION: How to use CL commands with JAVA?

Joe, please check out the AS/400 Toolbox for Java
(http://www.ibm.com/as400/toolbox).  The Toolbox is a class library
containing Java classes written specifically to get at AS/400 stuff
(database files, data queues, user spaces, call AS/400 commands, call
AS/400 programs/APIs, print stuff (printers, writers, output queues, ...),
files in the integrated file system,  plus a whole lot more!

Here is a short program that calls the AS/400 "crtlib" command.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import com.ibm.as400.access.*;

public class CommandCallExample extends Object
{
   public static void main(String[] parmeters)
   {

      // Create an AS400 object.  This is the system we send the command to
      AS400 as400 = new AS400("myAS400);

      // Create a command call object specifying the AS/400 that will
      // recieve the command.
      CommandCall command = new CommandCall( as400 );
      try
      {
         // Run the command.
         if (command.run("crtlib newlib"))
             System.out.print( "Command successful" );
         else
             System.out.print( "Command failed" );

         // If messages were produced from the command, print them
         AS400Message[] messagelist = command.getMessageList();

         for (int i=0; i < messagelist.length; i++)
         {
            System.out.print  ( messagelist[i].getID() );
            System.out.print  ( ": " );
            System.out.println( messagelist[i].getText() );
         }
      }
      catch (Exception e)
      {
         System.out.println("unexpected exception:");
         e.printStackTrace();
      }

      System.exit(0);
   }
}

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Hello,

I would really appreciate if somebody writes for me a short program that
shows
how to use AS400 commands with JAVA. I think,  a program that would answer
most of my questions would be one that check all output queues, finds the
files with names starting with a specified prefix and sends them to a
specified output queue.

The obvious acompanying question is whether there are special classes which
do
the same as the AS400 commands.

Joe
