RE: Frustration!!

["Steven Molinaro" <smolinaro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well that didn't work either. I gave up on QShell and just tried a java
HelloWorld from a command line (after changing my ENVVAR to .) ... That
didn't work either. I give up. But a question I do have is IBM supplies
it's own version of HelloWorld (called Hello) with the OS and the source
and class files are in /QIBM/Proddata/Java400. Fore some reason, when
you do a java Hello from a command line, this one works. Go figure!
Thanks to all for responding ..

Ugh.  It's been a long time since I tried this on the host.  I rarely
run from QShell these days, partially because of issues like this.

After some playing around, I found that "set CLASSPATH" doesn't work
inside of QShell.  In fact, the set command with a parameter doesn't do
much of anything (without parms it shows the current list of environment
variables).

So, you have to set the CLASSPATH *before* you start QShell, by using
the WRKENVVAR command.  Now, I don't know why your initial value is
pointing to the jt400/lib folder, but as long as you don't care about
that, simply use WRKENVVAR to replace your CLASSPATH with "." (no
quotes).

Then you should be able to go into QShell, cd /Java, and then run your
HelloWorld program.  I just did it, and it works fine.

(The memory begins to clear a little.  This all sound vaguely familiar.)

Good luck!

Joe
