Re: STDERR & STDOUT when running java from RPGLE

Personally, I don't use the technique you mentioned, instead I do this:

OVRPRTF FILE(STDOUT) TOFILE(QSYSPRT) HOLD(*YES)
OVRPRTF FILE(STDERR) TOFILE(QSYSPRT) HOLD(*YES)

Like the one you show, it must be done before the JVM is started, and the files are closed only when the JVM is ended. However, with this method, the stdout/stderr data goes to the spool instead of an IFS file. When you do it again in a subsequent job, it'll start new spooled files, so the logs are retained.

I'm sure there are many variations on this you could come up with.

I'm running java from RPGLE after redirecting stdout by setting the envvar
QIBM_RPG_JAVA_PROPERTIES with the
value -Dos400.stdout=file:/myfolder/myfile.txt;
and setting QIBM_USE_DESCRIPTOR_STDIO to Y.

My output is properly going to the file, but each time a new job starts, it
replaces the existing file when I would like it to append.

Is there another environment variable or a different value that someone can
share?

Thanks,
