Hello Matt, Are you running from TSO OMVS or are you rlogin into the machine? I'm not sure but it looks like that you are using the TSO OMVS shell.
Seriously, you should use Putty to rlogin to your machine. It's by far the best way. Just remember to go in Putty to Terminal/Keyboard and change Backspace key to Control-H. It might be that OMVS is using your TSO region and exceeding it. There is something called SHAREAS and NOSHAREAS you can see here: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/bpxza460/2.12.15?ACTION=MATCHES&REQUEST=shareas&TYPE=FUZZY&SHELF=BPXZSH61&DT=20050615135744&CASE=&searchTopic=TOPIC&searchText=TEXT&searchIndex=INDEX&rank=RANK&ScrollTOP=FIRSTHIT#FIRSTHIT Or maybe it has to do with _BPX_SHAREAS ?? See... http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/bpxza460/12.0?ACTION=MATCHES&REQUEST=bpx_shareas&TYPE=FUZZY&SHELF=BPXZSH61&DT=20050615135744&CASE=&searchTopic=TOPIC&searchText=TEXT&searchIndex=INDEX&rank=RANK&ScrollTOP=FIRSTHIT#FIRSTHIT So perhaps you could try: $ _BPX_SHAREAS=NO java -version And see if that makes any difference. Probably not. )-: Just a thought though. Anyway, that should force the java program to run in a separate address space and from there memory is limited by, I think, MAXASSIZE in BPXPRMxx in parmlib. --Lindy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Java Error Hi All, working with java 1.4.2 on zOS 1.7.
