I suppose it depends on how you look at the command
In this instance - you are adding an environment variable - CLASSPATH
I was looking at it as
You are adding data to an environment variable (that is existing) CLASSPATH
Obviously - my way of looking at this si the wrong way

Thanks Justin
That's misleading


​No it isn't...

ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(CLASSPATH) VALUE('/java/jdbc/jtds-1.3.1.jar')

"Environment variable name exists.​"

The "environment variable name" (ENVVAR) is "CLASSPATH".

The message detail clearly tells you the problem

Cause . . . . . : You tried to add an environment variable (ADDENVVAR),
'CLASSPATH', of level *JOB, that already exists.
Recovery . . . : Do one of the following:
- Specify the REPLACE(*YES) option to replace the existing value with the
new value.
- Use the CHGENVVAR command to change the specified environment variable.
- Retry the command with an environment variable that does not exist.


The message isn't any different from any other "object already exists"
message you'd get from an ADDxxx, or CRTxxx command I can think of.
