Re: "new to Java" question...

Isn't that the idea behind encapsulation? So method variables cannot be
accessed. Make them class variables.

Thanks,

Mark

Is there an easier way to access method variables in another method other
than passing them on the call?  here's an example:

public static void main(String args[]) {
  DB2400 nal820 = new DB2400("nal820");
  getData(nal820);
  nal820.disconnect();
}

public static void getData(DB2400 nal820) {
  //process data
}

could I do something in the getData method to access my "nal820" variable
without passing it?  I'm sure it's something really easy and basic, but
like the subject says, it's a "new to Java" type of question...Thanks...
