RE: System.exit

I just wanted to clarify a few things, since I started this thread.

All I really wanted to be able to do was to do a MONMSG on a RUNJVA command
to know when my Java class wasn't able to successfully do what I wanted it
do.

Before I went ahead and wrote all the programs, I just wanted to test that
you could make RUNJVA send the escape message.  So to test this, I used
SBMJOB on a RUNJVA command of a class that was just setting System.exit(1).

Normally, when the command you run on a SBMJOB ends with a *ESCAPE message,
the job ends abnormally, this is because "normally" *ESCAPE messages have a
severity that is greater than zero.

Mandy has shown that you can in fact do a MONMSG and catch the error, and
others have capably explained the various reasons why the SBMJOB ends
normally.

Thanks to all.  It looks like I should be able to do what I want.
