RE: Supressing all screen/print output

Unfortunately there *is* a reason.  When QSH runs a Java command that fails,
for whatever reason, it sends itself a message that is inaccessible to the
program calling QSH.  It doesn't issue an escape message, so the calling
program has no way of knowing whether the Java program ran successfully or
not.  I was originally using QSH to run our Java programs, but the fact is
that Java programs occasionally fail for no apparent reason on our systems
(or because some careless programmer, no names mentioned, changes the
class's input parameters but not the CLs that call it), and it's better for
us to know that at the time it happens.

I tried overriding QSH's stdout, but that got too complicated because
there's no way to tell "good" stdout from "bad" when you look at the
resulting output file.  So our workaround at present is to restrict Java
programs to be run in batch only.

Is there a reason why it has to be the RUNJVA command????  It seems to me
that if it works using QSH, but not using RUNJVA *and* one *could* run the
QSH.... 

I'm not the most experienced java programmer, so I'm not sure what the
differences are.  I use the QSH solution for my e-mail solution and I don't
have the issues discussed.

From my experiments it appears that OVRDBF redirects stdout from the QSH
command but not from the RUNJVA command.  But please post code that works
for you.
