Mike, I'm a bit confused about what you said here.  You said that the 
java class returns a string.  Normally, I'd just think you meant to say 
"java method", but since you used the name "main" for the method, I'm 
wondering if you're hoping that you can also use the RUNJVA command to 
call this main method and get the value back.

I tried creating a Java class with a main method like yours, and it 
created the Java class ok, and I was able to call the main method with 
your prototype after I added the STATIC keyword in RPG (and changed the 
name of the class to my class's name).

But I wasn't able to use RUNJVA to call the class method.  I had to 
change the method to have the usual signature before I could use RUNJVA 
to call the class.
   public static void main(String args[])

So I'm thinking that your Java method will be easier to understand if 
you use the name "resendOrder" for that method, instead of using the 
name "main", since using the name "main" could cause confusion.
