On my z/OS 1.6 system, there is a file HelloWorld.class in /usr/lpp/jdk140/normal-J1.4/
to run it, use the TSO OMVS command. When you get a prompt, enter: java /usr/lpp/jdk140/normal-J1.4/HelloWorld.class This was the oldest JDK that I could find on my system. I also have the HelloWorld.class in: /usr/lpp/jdk142/J1.4/ /usr/lpp/jdk150/J5.0_64/ So I guess it comes with the JDK. Oh, the above assumes that you have the PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables set up correctly. If they are not, then assuming the first path to your JDK is correct, then enter the commands: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lpp/jdk140/normal-J1.4/bin export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lpp/jdk140/normal-J1.4/ Then do the "java" command. In my system, I have the equivalent of those commands in: /etc/profile which is automatically used (sourced in UNIX terminology) when the /bin/sh (UNIX shell) is started as a "login" shell (as the TSO OMVS command does). -- 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.
