Restriction on length of CLASSPATH?

2012-06-13 Thread Jan MOEYERSONS 
Esteemed listers,

It looks very much so that the length of the CLASSPATH environment variable as 
used for running a Java program from a shell script (invoked through BPXBATCH) 
is restricted to about 4K bytes. However, I can't seem to find any 
documentation that officially states this restriction. Would it be a 
restriction on the length of a shell variable, or would it be a restriction in 
the JVM?

Any pointers to some doc will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jantje.

P.S. We are running Java 5 on z/OS 1.12

I do not believe this to be true.
Please post a test case.
It may be helpful to have your java program print the classpath, like:
