RE: Release ioncompatibility

Here's a deeply nasty workaround I've just invented, which does at least
work ... (on V4R5, anyway).

If you run RUNJVA / JAVA in batch it will of course generate a nice QPRINT
spool file instead of that horrible standard output display ...
If you use DDM SBMRMTCMD to run a command it a) executes synchronously as
far as your job is concerned b) sends you back any escape message as if it
had been returned inside your own job.

So ... create a TCP/IP DDM file to point to LOCALHOST (you'll need to start
the DDM TCP/IP server, and also you'll need to use CHGDDMTCPA to switch off
TCP/IP DDM password checking, which N.B. poses a security risk).
Create a DDS-less physical file, say MYLIB/STDOUT, rcdlen(132), to contain
the spooled output when you've got it.

Now use SBMRMTCMD & your new DDM file to run the JAVA command. It will run
faster than interactively because it doesn't do that horrible slow display
output.
RCLDDMCNV to close the spool file.

The QPRINT spool file will be in the wacky QPRTJOB job that belongs to your
user profile - there's one only of these at a time & it just acts as a
placeholder for spool files of this sort.
So you can do
CPYSPLF FILE(QPRINT) TOFILE(MYLIB/STDOUT) JOB(userprofile/QPRTJOB)
SPLNBR(*LAST)
Now you can do with the output what you will.
It does assume, of course, that this is still the *LAST QPRINT spool file
for this user profile when you do the CPYSPLF, which may theoretically not
be the case, of course - depends what else your users get up to.

Horrible.

And when you find out, **please** post it on this list.  I've asked this
several times in various places, with no response except "If you use QSH,
then you won't have to train 500 people to wait until they see 'Java
program
complete' before pressing F3".  Which is true, but if you use QSH, you have
no way of telling if the Java program worked or not because QSH ends
normally regardless.  And writing a wrapper to scan the output of QSH for
potential errors has a good chance of misidentifying or missing errors.

Also, I'd be tickled to know how to override STDOUT when using the RUNJVA
command.  Having to use QSH is a little ugly.
