Just my opinion.

   Hi Franco and Michael,

   Personally, it's very understandable to me that AS/400 programmers
might generally expect more understanding and assistance from others
who have gone through the same process than on other lists.

   At the same time, I also understand that some subscribers want the list
honed in on AS/400-specific Java discussion.  For the rest of us,
responding mails that say "ask somewhere else" or "don't do that" often
just add to the noise.

   I moderate one of several forums ( the Java Filter, which is a catch all
for questions that don't seem to fit other forums ) at IBM's developerWorks
Java zone.  These forums focus on standard Java issues ( much more so than
any IBM specific issues ) and all questions are welcome.  If anyone has
questions that they feel may not be appropriate for this list, feel free to
go there.  I have a long background in the midrange, so I generally know
where you are coming from.

   To access the forums, go to

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/

   Near the bottom of the page, under "Community", click on "All Java
technology forums" for a list of available forums.

   I hope everyone is having a happy holiday season.  Now back to the
regularly scheduled program.

Your t variable is vailable only in your Main method.

...Again this should not be a java beginner coding forum...

Ok...I'm confused...

In RPG, I declare all my prototypes in my D specs. I'd like to do the
same thing with Java. So I have some code that looks like this:

public class MakeXLS {
   public static void main (String[] args)
{
MakeXLS t = new MakeXLS();
t.readCSVFile();
t.fillXLS();
              ...
But now I want to use fillXLS() inside of readCSVFile(). Why can't I
just have the line t.fillXLS() inside of readCSVFile()? Is it because
variable t is not global? I get this error instead:

javac -classpath /OpenSource/jexcelapi/jxl.jar MakeXLS.java
MakeXLS.java:58: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : variable t
location: class MakeXLS
      t.fillXLS();
      ^
1 error
$

TIA...
