Re: iSphere - problem calling QSYS.QCMDEXC - Need help

(I'm just catching up on email. So sorry I'm a little late to the party
here.)

We're on 7.1 and we do not have QSYS2.QCMDEXC. (Perhaps we haven't
installed something, but I'm doubtful of that.)

However, we get around the problem by defining a variable for the command
string long enough to handle the longest string we anticipate needing to
process. Then we move the actual command string into it which leaves the
rest padded with blanks. after that, we simply call QCMDEXC with the full
length of the field for the string passed as the second parameter. QCMDEXC
doesn't care about the extra blanks on the end of the string.

Re: [WDSCI-L] iSphere - problem calling QSYS.QCMDEXC - Need help

As far as I know, QSYS2.QCMDEXC has been introduced with 7.1. So
that is not option until I wanted to get rid of all user that are
still on 6.1. For sure I do not want that.

But I changed the Java code to use a CAST expression and I hope that
it will fix the problem. I wauit for feedback from Sune.
