Re: Compiling Hello.java with javac ?

Ok, I rename the file HELLO.JAVA to hello.java, then typed javac hello.java 
in STRQSH.

This time the following error occured.

 javac hello.java
 error: cannot read: hello.java
 1 error
 £


Any idea please ?

Further, what java tool is best for pc for testing, compiling and then 
transfer to AS/400.

Best Regards,
