Re: CLASSPATH longer than 1024 characters causes ADDENVVAR to fail

I figured I might end up in QSH. This is an interesting approach. I'll have to figure out how to leverage it. The Java program is actually called from RPG so I was using CL to set the CLASSPATH there. However, there might be some way to handle it this way.

Thanks.

Hi Pete,

After trying every trick in the book, including shortening directory
names and jars, we finally settled on using QSH:

1. We created an additional directory under our main directory (
<RootDirectoryname> ), which we called lib
2. We created a shell script called runxxx.sh like this:

CLASSPATH=<RootDirectoryName>

for file in
<RootDirectoryName>/lib/*.jar
do

CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$file;

done;

echo
$CLASSPATH;

java -cp $CLASSPATH -Djava.version=1.5 com.mycompany.myproject.MainClass

We then changed out the RUNJVA command for a QSH command. to run this
shell script instead.

Any idea of how to set a classpath in CL greater than a 1024
characters? I tried ADDENVVAR but it is limited to 1024 characters. I
thought I had seen a post in the past but a search of the archives
didn't turn up a solution.

Don't ask why the classpath is so long...sigh...
