Steve,

Java System properties can be set on the java command line:

    java -Dfile.encoding=iso8859-1 HelloWorld

I'm sorry, but I've lost track of exactly what you are trying to do.
Can you post some sample code / commands to reproduce your problem?

A canonical example (from a z/OS shell):

$ cat HelloWorld.java
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
 System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}

$ javac HelloWorld.java
$ java HelloWorld
Hello World
$

Does this work for you?

Steve,
Talking to a few fellows who have been working with Java on the
mainframe, they suggested looking at the value of 'file.encoding' system
property.



And where would I expect to find that? In /usr/lpp/java/J1.4/bin
there is a java.properties file, but it does not have a 'file.encoding'
string anywhere I could find.


Here is a page that has some code snippets and a discussion that may
help.

Well, interesting, but not helpful in telling me where
and how to change my ecoding. I think that's what I need.

Kind regards,

-Steve
