RE: Java to AS/400

Thanks for the response.  Yes we are using DTAQ for the communication
between a java pc program and rpg.  What I was looking for is someone
who has created a java program and it is running on the AS/400  and a
RPG or CL is calling it.

                Hello Marie,

                What are you trying to accomplish?  You cannot directly
call Java from RPG.  You can start a Java program 
                via the RUNJVA (or JAVA) command but the Java program
runs in a separate process.  You can pass parameters 
                to Java but not back to RPG.  This is just like running
commands via QCMDEXC.  If you want 
                program-to-program communication between RPG and Java
you need to use sockets or an external object(*DTAQ, 
                *DTAARA, *FILE, *USRSPC, etc).

                Regards,
                Simon Coulter.
