Concur Buck! Thanks for the clarification.
Almost all my Java-programs are background running jobs. Unless I missed one.
But, for testing, I have to sign-off, and sign back on...
Duh, I should have just submitted it off to batch to test! I guess I am just use to testing interactive on our test box. Just an Old habit... <My Bad>
Forgot about the wrkjvmjob, to view, if I stop in debug. Which I was doing on my interactive 5250 session.
But, by running in interactively, I could verify how the environment variables were set after I was done running it.
Still for some unknown reason, I could NOT even add a "SEP", and got that meaningless error:
"**ERROR decoding EStdString**". No information in the Error-Log in RDI 9.5.1.
PS. Long story short, another developer not me, put an old depreciated jar in the root path, which cause all my problems... <sigh> Live & Learn...

Yes, this is how JVM works under IBM i.
Java reads the environment variables at startup and only at startup.
Java starts up exactly one time per job.
I almost never run Java in an interactive job - I always SBMJOB to get a new, clean, known JVM state.
Did the exact same thing this morning, and now it works...
My only guess was that a different job gave a different JVM giving a different... something.
