Re: Call RPG from Java using ToolBox - run on PC and fail on AS400

Hi  Joe;

Following your advice I used an empty parmList in place of the ‘null’ and
now the java class also runs on AS400.

Indeed, the jt400.zip on AS400 is newer (V4R5 270 box) and the zip file on
my PC was from an old 170 box. After I copied the new zip file to my PC, the
java program also failed to run on PC if I did not use an empty parmList. It
appears that ibm has changed the toolbox to not allow a null value.

Thanks for your help.

Bruce
