RE: ClassPath Woes - What the Heck is happening.

Tried that, then it replaces anything else that might be in the CLASSPATH
variable.  I can't guarantee that I am the only one using the CLASSPATH.
It's just easier to say "Here, add this to the classpath, if it's already
there shoot me an error and I will handle it".  One could write some
routines to see if a particular entry exists in the CLASSPATH but I just
found this to be easier.

Are there any gotcha's with this approach?

You could add REPLACE(*YES) to your ADDENVVAR command, and then you
wouldn't have to go through the exception handling.
