Need help with a simple QSH formatting

["John" <jallen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First off I want to let you know that I am just starting to
play around with java on the iSeries 
so please forgive my ignorance on this one

 

I do not want to say how much time I have spent trying to
change a CL program 
from using RUNJVA to using QSH to run it.

It seems to me it should be very easy, but I have spent a
lot of time trying different formats and reading and re-read
midrange archives trying to find the correct format. 

With my current example I am getting error:

qsh: 001-0050 Syntax error on line 1: token "(" not
expected. 

 

Here is what works

DCL        VAR(&inFileFlg) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(20) +    

              VALUE('-inputfile')                    

DCL        VAR(&outFileFlg) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(20) +   

              VALUE('-outputfile')                   
CHGVAR     VAR(&fulPathIn) VALUE('/drjc/java/testin.txt')

CHGVAR     VAR(&fulPathOut) VALUE('/drjc/java/testout.txt')

                                   

CHGVAR &classPath
('/QIBM/ProdData/OS400/jt400/lib/jt400Native.jar:+ 

 
/drjc/java/commons.jar:/drjc/java:/drjc/java/convertf.jar:.'
)                  

 

** The following works **


RUNJVA     CLASS('convert') PARM(&inFileFlg  &fulPathIn    +


             &outFileFlg   &fulPathOut)
CLASSPATH(&classPath)        

 

** The following does not work **


CHGVAR     VAR(&CMD) VALUE('RUNJVA CLASS(convert) +      

             PARM(' *TCAT  +                              

             &inFileFlg  *BCAT &fulPathIn  *BCAT +        

             &outFileFlg *BCAT &fulPathOut *BCAT +        

')' *BCAT 'CLASSPATH(' *TCAT &classPath *TCAT ')' )  

                

STRQSH     CMD(&CMD)


** This causes error:

qsh: 001-0050 Syntax error on line 1: token "(" not
expected. 

Press ENTER to end terminal session.


 

Can anyone give me the correct format for &CMD?

 

Thanks
