RE: doing things backwards

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems to me you're talking about calling RPG from java.  I'm talking
about calling java from RPG.  We've talked about the obvious ways--java pgm
writes to file, java pgm writes to dataqueue, RPG pgm calls stdout APIs.  I
was curious if there were a simple way to call a java pgm from an RPG pgm in
the manner of a normal dynamic call.

If I'm wrong, I'll be delighted.

Just use Visual Age wizard to call an rpg program. You can pass your
parameters and 
get the returned values. 
You can also create a stored procedure. This store procedure will call teh
rpg program 
(the stored procedure encapsulate the rpg program). Then call the stored
procedure 
with jdbc 
This is quite simple to do. This is really useful only if rpg programs are
well written 
(display layer separated from the business layer)

Don't ask why we want to do it. <g> 
Is there a good way to call a java program from an RPG program passing it 
arguments and receiving return values that will be used in the RPG program?
