Re: Why CLASSPATH behave so strange?

[pytel@xxxxxxxxxx]

This is because STRQSH starts its own job and does not inherit current
directory setting from your original job. You may prove it by issuing pwd
command from a prompt after STRQSH.
You may run Java program by calling STRQSH CMD('java Hello'). In this case
current directory WILL be inherited.
BTW, you do not need to bother adding '.' to CLASSPATH. It's there by
default.

Environment variables are job attributes and are lost, when job ends.

Subject:  Why CLASSPATH behave so strange?





Hello,

I am trying to run my first java program, surprise-surprise Hello.class,
which
I uploaded into a directory TEMP on AS/400. Then I do WRKENVVAR and do not
find any variables. So, I create CLASSPATH and give it the value '.' (as
they
recommend on a web-site). Then I do CD /TEMP and get the answer that the
current directory really changed. STRSQH and java Hello. But it says it
cannot
read Hello.class. If I do java /TEMP/Hello, then it is OK. Why this
CLASSPATH
do not have effect.

Another question is why when I close the AS400 session and open it again, I
do
not find this CLASSPATH variable !?

Thank you.

Joe
