Thanks again, Mark, Larry, and John. I downloaded the stand-alone JAVA and installed it. My receive job is now happily crunching along.
Maybe someday I'll be able to repay some of the knowledge I've gleaned off this group. Rex You might want to try http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/software/java/. You can download a tar file from IBM with java without needing SMP/E. The last time I received FROMNTS, I had SMPJHOME in my JCL to get the java library, but I do not remember if that was required or if I just copied the JCL from something else.
