That's very strange, Shannon.  Never heard that one before.  I don't
think I've ever added the CLASSPATH envvar from inside my RPG program.

I can understand the reverse being true, that adding the CLASSPATH
envvar from inside an RPG program *doesn't* have any effect - that could
happen if the JVM had already been started by another RPG program - the
CLASSPATH environment variable is only fetched by RPG runtime when it
has to start the JVM.
