Re: Running Java programs in batch

Hi John,

The previous answers are correct, but you would probably want normally to create a CL program that does any setup or has multiple processing steps and do the call to the Java class from there. Then your SBMJOB command would reference only the CL program. BTW, RUNJVA and JAVA are synonymous on the AS/400.

Once again, the "i" is better integrated.

The "i" in iSeries, System i, name du jour with an i, stands for "integrated". And, of course, to those who know, it's name is the AS/400.

I've never used JZOS before, so I'm not sure what kind of
functionality you
are after.

However, you can just submit a RUNJVA command to batch.
SBMJOB CMD(RUNJVA CLASS(package.YourClass)) CPYENVVAR(*YES)

JZOS bundles a nice interface with the "Job Entry System" so that it is
easy to write standard print reports and other things. It also allows
allocation of datasets via JCL DD statements (not an "i" concept as far
as I can tell) and reading them easily. The way to run Java on z/OS
without JZOS requires using z/OS UNIX (PASE equivalent) services which
don't easily allow reading and writing SPOOL files or specifying the
dataset names in standard JCL DD statements.

Once again, the "i" is better integrated. I'm really impressed with the
system from what I've read (we don't have one yet).
