Call RPG from Java using ToolBox - run on PC and fail on AS400

 Hello:

I wrote a simple java program to call a simple RPG program. The RPG program
is called TEST1 and it has no *ENTRY PLIST in it.  The code is listed below.
The java class runs OK on PC (it prompts system, name user, password). The
RPG is called correctly. The output on the VAJ console is like this:

AS400 obj created...
pgm.run() = true
Call completed.


When I copied this class to AS400 and run it in Qshell, the class ran but
the call failed and I get the following output:

> java CallRPG2
   AS400 obj created...
   error=java.lang.NullPointerException: parameterList
   Call completed.
   $

Any ideas?
TIA. Bruce


import com.ibm.as400.access.*;

class CallRPG2 {

    public static void main(java.lang.String[] args) {

   boolean pgmrun;

   AS400 as400 = new AS400();
   System.out.println("AS400 obj created..." );

   ProgramCall pgm = new ProgramCall(as400);
   try{
     pgm.setProgram(QSYSObjectPathName.toPath("BRUCELIB", "TEST1",
"PGM"),null);
     pgmrun = pgm.run();
     System.out.println("pgm.run() = " + pgmrun);
     if (pgmrun != true)  {
      AS400Message[] msgList = pgm.getMessageList();
        for (int i=0; i<msgList.length; i++)
         System.out.println(msgList[i].getText());
   }

 } catch (Exception e) {
  System.out.println("error=" + e);
 }

 System.out.println("Call completed." );
 as400.disconnectService(AS400.COMMAND);
 System.exit(0);
  }

}
