RE: calling java from rpg at v4r5

Well, one way is to start qshell as a submitted job.  Always helps to at
least skim the manual. <g>

Has anyone had any experience with QzshSystem?  It's a little off topic, but
I'm curious what I did wrong.  My program compiles and runs with a return
code > 0.  It just doesn't do anything.  I'm calling it like so:

 eval      retval = qzhsystem(%trim(commandtxt))

commandtext contains 'java Hello3 filename' and qzhsystem is the typo I'm
using as an alias for QzshSystem.  The prototype is:

 Dqzhsystem        pr            10i 0 extproc('QzshSystem')
 D cmdstring                       *   value  options(*string)
