Hi Lionel. Have you tried bpx_shareas in the env. stem passed to BPXWUNIX?
Are you running a unix command or starting a shell script? Is your command "apf"? Some time ago, I was working in a similar issue: Ispf calling Java. The creation of the JVM was really heavy, so we changed java code to accept subcommand from stdin, "forked" it and communicate with the Ispf/Rexx code using pipes. Regards, and good luck with zigi. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
