Re: Need help with a simple QSH formatting

You're trying to make QSH run a CL command - won't happen. You need to use 

java 

and whatever its parameters will be. Go to QSH, type java -h on the command 
line, and see what the help tells you. Then put the items from the RUNJVA 
command into corresponding locations with the appropriate flags. 

Good luck, and come on back for more - I don't have the details in front of me, 
and others will also know how.
