Re: System.exit

[marshall@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I handled this by running a Qshell script from the CL.  The shell script 
can monitor for the return code from the System.exit(x) and then can set a 
data area with the value....

# Usage: scriptName classpath notifyDataArea parm1 parm2 parm3 ...
#
java -classpath $1 com.dpslink.whatever.ClassName $3 $4 $5 $6 $7
if test  "$?" = "0"
  then system "chgdtaara dtaara($2 (1 1)) value('0')"
  else system "chgdtaara dtaara($2 (1 1)) value('1')"
fi

This is a quick and dirty version, you should get the idea though.  The 
keys are the $? which is the value on the system.exit and the ability of 
qshell to run an AS/400 command via the "system" keyword.

I assume by the lack of response that no one has figured out a way to do
this?

I am toying with the idea of having the Java program create a data area in
QTEMP by using runtime.exec().

Then the CL program can just check for the data area.
