RE: Program can't find toolbox classes on the iSeries

Special thanks to Kristen for the help on Saturday! 

I finally got the program to run. I'm not sure which of these changes made the 
difference, but they did the trick:

(1) I imported the specific classes instead of using a wildcard. 
Instead of
        import com.ibm.as400.access.*; 
I coded the following:
        import com.ibm.as400.access.AS400;
        import com.ibm.as400.access.ProgramCall;
        import com.ibm.as400.access.ProgramParameter;
        import com.ibm.as400.access.AS400Text;

(2) I put both my source file (ExtolCl.java) and the jt400Native.jar file in a 
custom directory of the IFS (/Dot/iConnect). I had been using the 
/QIBM/ProdData/Java400 directory.

(3) I compiled the ExctolCl.java in the IFS using qsh. I had been dragging a 
compiled class in from the Eclipse IDE on my desktop.

(4) I set the classpath in qsh using:
        export -s CLASSPATH=/Dot/iConnect:/Dot/iConnect/jt400Native.jar
I had been using the WRKENVVAR from a command line of the classpath parm of the 
CL JAVA command.

(5) I then ran the program in qsh using the java command. I had been using the 
CL JAVA command.

Thanks again to all for the help!

The jt400 jar is for when you run the programs on a machine that is not an
iSeries and access an iSeries.  The Native (of which I believe the ntv
version to be also) is for running on the iSeries as it is optimized for the
iSeries.

If you program is running on the iSeries only use the Native jar in the
classpath.
