This error is not saying that the jar exists in the classpath variable, it
is saying that the environment variable exists. It is an all or nothing
replacement. You are going to have to read the environment variable,
concatenate what you want to add, and then replace it. Problem is, once the
jvm is started, you can't change the classpath. My CLP that initializes the
jvm sets the whole classpath right from the start all in one shot, and it
includes everything the job could possibly want. I know my machine, and the
Java programs running on it, so I know what needs to be in the classpath up
front.

Hi everyone
I am looking at the ADDENVVAR command

Taking and F1 on that message, I see

Didn't even see THAT

So I entered this command
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(CLASSPATH) VALUE('/java/jdbc/jtds-1.3.1.jar')
And it came back with this message
Environment variable name exists.
When I use the command WRKENVVAR and take the option to display
CLASSPATH, it shows

Is there a limit as to what is in the CLASSPATH?

Should I use the option 2 to change the value?
Is it just a case of inserting at the end?

What value needs to be inserted there for VALUE('/java/jdbc/jtds-1.3.1.
jar')

Alan,

I copied & pasted the command you had in your message.

The file is jtds

The command you had in your post is jdts..

Either you copied & pasted wrong, or you have a type on the command.

And in answer to your other question, yes WBOHQECDB01 needs to resolve.
Preferably via DNS as opposed to a host table entry.

Charles.

When I look in the ifs directory
/java/jdbc
The jar file is out there as

So I believe my command is correct

Alan,

Use WRKJVMJOB to look at the JVM in your job...

In particular, the classpath still doesn't seem to be getting set

right.

Note, it's
jtds-1.1.1.jar

not
jdts-1.3.1.jar

that you have shown in your post ADDENVVAR post :)

Thanks for your reply Dave
Just found out about that, less than 20 minutes ago'I will need
to investigate it

Alan Shore

What is strange is that, as you can see, I sent my
message at
11:15 AM this morning but it apparently took until 3:51 PM to
appear

on

the list. Sorry you had to wait so long for this information. ;-)

Before I forget, we are on V7r1

I have been asked to investigate how we can connect to an
external

database

Google search presented the following web page
http://www.scottklement.com/jdbc/

That is one method. We went a different route --
because it allowed us to use standard embedded SQL in our RPG
programs and is better for performance because it prestarts a
shared JVM for all jobs to use. We downloaded a free, Source
Forge project from one of the members of this list (Dieter)

called ApPServer4RPG:
