Steve, I do not think you should exec the java program with the name of the class library as the call parameter. Instead, the library "HelloWorld.class" will contain one class with a main-function (method as java folks say) and may be other classes. Ask the provider of the class library about this class name. The class name is to be passed to the java program for execution. For example:
file /u/USERID/Hello.java: class MAIN { public static void main(String args[]) { .... do something like System.out.println("Hello World");.... } } Then compile the source to the class-file: javac /u/USERID/Hello.java will result in /u/USERID/Hello.class (May be you need a couple of extra parameters for this to happen correctly.) These two steps are done from the development team. They will tell you about the name of the "main" class. Then run the class with java -cp /u/USERID MAIN Like the "-cp" parameter you can provide various other parameters to tune the java program's behaviour. One of those is -Dfile.encoding=whatever. For JZOS, these parameters are defined in the symbol IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS.

And that was my first thought, too, since I had been experimenting with various code pages in my emulator. However, with codepages matching in both the old and the new system, I cut and pasted from the old to the new and reran the compile. Same result. Michael Klaeschen suggested I check file.encoding and the symbol IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS, but I can't find those. I'm just issuing the javac command directly under omvs. More disturbing, I did a cd to the JAVA_HOME directory: cd /u/Java6_31/J6.0 And an 'ls' showed: -rw-r--r-- 1 TCPIP IPGROUP 425 Jun 3 22:39 HelloWorld.class drwxr-xr-x 2 TCPIP IPGROUP 8192 Mar 14 2008 IBM -rw-r--r-- 1 TCPIP IPGROUP 6 Jun 3 22:39 JDK_INSTALL_OK drwxr-xr-x 4 TCPIP IPGROUP 8192 Jun 3 22:39 bin -rw-r--r-- 1 TCPIP IPGROUP 833 Mar 22 2009 copyright drwxr-xr-x 13 TCPIP IPGROUP 8192 Jun 3 22:36 demo drwxr-xr-x 16 TCPIP IPGROUP 8192 Jun 3 22:39 docs drwxr-xr-x 3 TCPIP IPGROUP 8192 Jun 3 22:36 include drwxr-xr-x 13 TCPIP IPGROUP 8192 Jun 3 22:35 lib -rw-r--r-- 1 TCPIP IPGROUP 44534 Jun 3 22:39 license_en.txt drwxr-xr-x 3 TCPIP IPGROUP 8192 Jun 3 22:37 mvstools -rw-r--r-- 1 TCPIP IPGROUP 36370 Jun 3 22:40 notices.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 TCPIP IPGROUP 1694 May 29 09:41 readmefirst.zos.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 TCPIP IPGROUP 9084677 Jun 3 22:19 src.zip drwxr-xr-x 5 TCPIP IPGROUP 8192 Jun 3 22:40 standard But when I tried to run the sample, here is what I got: java HelloWorld.class Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorld.class Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: HelloWorld.class at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:419) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:643) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:345) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:609) Could not find the main class: HelloWorld.class. Program will exit. just to be sure, I looked at PATH and CLASSPATH: printenv PATH /u/Java6_31/J6.0/bin:/usr/lpp/pli/bin:/usr/lpp/internet/bin:/usr/lpp/cobol/bin:/bin:. printenv CLASSPATH /u/scomsto/CGI:/u/scomsto/public_html/Java:/usr/lpp/internet/server_root/cgi-bin:/u/Java6_31/J6.0:/u/Java6_31/J6.0/src.zip:. In both cases, the '.' at the end should ensure a search in the current working directory. And I was running in the JAVA_HOME directory. And I can see the class right there before me.
