Re: Code page for Java on USS
This isn't necessarily what the OP asked - but I would suggest that you don't want to put your Java source code on z/OS anyway! Much better IMO is to code, compile, and even remotely debug your z/OS Java code on your workstation. An IDE like Eclipse (which is free) makes this a far superior alternative to developing code on z/OS. The "JZOS Cookbook" on http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/zosjavabatchtk is available to help you get started. Eclipse will integrate with your favorite SCCS, which might be hosted on z/OS or more likely another platform.It is really not necessary to compile your Java code on z/OS; you can have an IDE like Eclipse compile "as you type" and then simply transfer binary class files or jars to z/OS for execution. The JZOS Cookbook comes with a sample project that includes Ant scripts that will build and deploy your project to z/OS in one click. BTW - the codepage used by your terminal emulator to display Java characters isn't really related to running or compiling Java. Java internally *always* use UTF for characters and strings, so encoding is really only an issue when it comes to getting data in and out of Java. As John mentioned, -Dfile.encoding sets the *default* character set used by Java when converting from bytes to/from UTF strings, but Java code can easily use a different encoding on a file-by-file basis.

This is a run-time option, not a compile option! And it can also be set in the "properties" file. refs: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/file.html for compiling: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/javac.html Also set your terminal emulator to IBM-1047 (Latin-1 may work) also. Why not just compile on your desktop and do a BIN ftp up to z/OS?

Code page for Java on USS
I'm in the initial throes of setting up an environment to run Java UDFs in DB2 for z/OS and I'm getting hit by the square brackets problem when trying to compile a small Java program. How and where do I set the code page so I get the correct square brackets. Code page 1047 rings a vague bell, but where do I set that up.
