RE: CLASSPATH longer than 1024 characters causes ADDENVVAR to fail

Set environment variables thusly:

PTH1=/path1:/path2:/path3...
PTH2=/path41:/path42:...
PTH3=...
CLASSPATH=${PTH1}:${PTH2}:{$PTH3}

Note that I have not tried this with ADDENVVAR. I have done this

in

I can confirm (sorry) that this will not work. Once this is set,

$PTH1 -

$PTH3 will all be set as planned, and CLASSPATH will have this exact

value:

${PTH1}:${PTH2}:${PTH3}

Right you are. I just tried it at V4R3, and ${varname} does not expand
the variabble. Just another case of me getting use to a beyond-POSIX
extension without realizing it, I guess. Sigh. Can IBM not give us a
modern shell?

I think they'll come along right behind Macrosloth on that. Hopefully with
something better than PowersHell.

Actually, I think QSH is just fine. The line between the environments is
the problem, IMO, rather than the environments themselves. If both the
traditional and the shell operated under one umbrella, you could potentially
have your desire.
