RE: No Class Def Found Error

The system-level environment variables are there for default values.
When you start a job the system copies all the system environment
variables to the job level. By default when you change a variable it
only changes the job level not the system level version of that
variable. Once that job ends the job variables are gone just like QTEMP.

It has been my experience to set everything that needs to be set in the
CL just like you would with in other application on the AS/400.

I usually do the following:

Set all environment variables that need to be set.
Always put the "." as part of my classpat i.e.
CLASSPATH='.:/myclasses:/myjars/myjar.jar'
Change directory to the base directory of my application.
CALL RPG or JAVA program

Hope that helps

System-level environment variables are set in every job when the job
starts (at least by default, I don't know if there's a job-description
value that prevents this).  The JVM uses the system-level environment
variable.

Actually, in the case of the CLASSPATH envvar and RPG, it's the RPG
runtime that fetches the CLASSPATH environment variable when it start
the JVM.  If you call the invocation API without specifying the
classpath, it doesn't automatically pick up the CLASSPATH envvar.
