RE: Install JAR file on iSeries

Thank you Scott.  Did not think of QSH.  Actually outlook capitalized
the J in java for me.  ( love how it thinks it's smarter than I )

Now I get the following error message:

java -cp /usr/bin/bb/java/bbas400.jar:/usr/bb/java/jt400.jar

A CL script?!  This appears to be a Bourne shell script for a Unix 
system!  but, even in that environment,it wouldn't work, because you've 
capitalized the J in Java, and Unix is case-sensitive...

But, anyway...  setting PATH is unnecessary.  In Qshell, the 'java' 
command is in your PATH by default, and in CL you use *LIBL, not PATH.

The other part.  In QShell it would be just like it is in Unix:

   java -cp /usr/bin/bb/java/bbas400.jar:/usr/bin/bb/java/jt400.jar
   com.shenmfg.AS400BBAgent /usr/bin/bb/java/server.properties &

You can run that from CL with the STRQSH command...

Alternately, you can use the JAVA CL command (Though, you may have to 
run CRTJVAPGM first)

This is a one-time only command (if you even need it):

CRTJVAPGM CLASS('/usr/bin/bb/java/bbas400.jar') +
           CLASSPATH('/usr/bin/bb/java/jt400.jar')

Then the part you'd put in your "CL script" would be this:

JAVA CLASS('com.shenmfg.AS400BBAgent') +
      PARM('/usr/bin/bb/java/server.properties') +
 
CLASSPATH('/usr/bin/bb/java/bbas400.jar:/usr/bin/bb/java/jt400.jar')

Note that the -cp switch on the Unix (or QShell) java command is short 
for 'classpath', so the data that follows it belongs in the CLASSPATH 
parameter to the JAVA command (you put it in the CLASS parameter).  The 
next parameter to the Unix/QShell java command is the name of the Java 
class you want to run (which goes in the CLASS parameter of the JAVA CL 
command).  Everything after that is a parameter to pass to the JAVA 
class....  in your case there's only one parameter, which is 
/usr/bin/bb/java/server.properties.   The & at the end of the Unix 
command line means "run in the background"... the closest equivalent in 
CL would be the SBMJOB command.

So if you want the SBMJOB command (though, I suspect you'll actually run

your entire CL program in batch instead) would look like this:

SBMJOB CMD(JAVA CLASS('com.shenmfg.AS400BBAgent') +
      PARM('/usr/bin/bb/java/server.properties') +
 
CLASSPATH('/usr/bin/bb/java/bbas400.jar:/usr/bin/bb/java/jt400.jar'))

Sorry if that CLASSPATH line gets misformatted...  but everything from 
the word CLASSPATH to the end of the command is intended to be on a 
single line with no spaces in it.
