In 2000, I wrote IKJEFLN2 which worked fine until 2002 when it started to

In 2003, I wrote a commercial version of IKJEFLN2 which bypasses the

It looks to me like your JAVA_HOME directory wasn't specified correctly,
since you are getting a message that the JVM dll can't be loaded.
You seem to have JAVA_HOME set to /usr/lpp/java/J5.0. Is there really a

I read the announcement snippet kindly posted by Marian, but I did not
see a 'requirement'.
That is, z/os 1.7 could be expected to run just fine, just not be able
to exploit some z/10 features.
Can we get some clarification? We are very dependent on some hardware,
specifically ICF.
Thanks
No wait... I see something else that is wrong.

In addition to what others have said, check the permissions on directory paths
to the various files. Also, you have EKM_HOME as the ext directory under java.
Is that correct, or should it be in your EKM directory.
