I don't know about OS/390 2.10, but the JZOS originally from Dovetail and now acquired by IBM (JZOS, not Dovetail) runs Java in batch wonderfully! Java "stuff" exists only in UNIX files. You cannot store the source or the .class/.jar files in a PDS. Well, you can store the source in a PDS. But you cannot compile from the PDS, you'll need to copy it to an UNIX file. And Java naming conventions are not very easy to squeeze into an 8 character, upper case only, PDS member name. I wouldn't even try. As an offshoot from this, if it were my choice, then I'd likely keep my Java development stuff on a UNIX file server. This UNIX file server would NFS export the appropriate subdirectories. The z/OS system would NFS import them. All Java development would occur on PC desktops running Linux or Windows <shudder>, which can access those NFS exported directories. I'd use either Netbeans or Eclipse on the desktop for Java development (I use Netbeans, myself). This would allow the programmers easy access to edit, compile, and test Java. Promotion would be from the NFS mounted subdirectories onto "production" UNIX files residing on the z/OS system. Again, this would be my first take on how to do it. Unfortunately, the interest in Java on z/OS here is approaching zero from beneath. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
