Re: CLASSPATH longer than 1024 characters causes ADDENVVAR to fail

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
