Talk about a weirdness. I just checked my "Howdy.java" file, which the shell attempted to execute and IT DOES NOT HAVE THE EXECUTE BIT ON! The shell should NOT even attempt to run the file, what is with that? That is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! And if I invoke the BASH shell, I get: bash: ./Howdy.class: cannot execute binary file With the tcsh shell, I get: ./Howdy.class: EDC5130I Exec format error.. Binary file not executable. Hum, sounds like it is time for a little talk with z/OS UNIX shell programmers. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
