Roland, do you know if a class file compiled on Windows - likewise works without modifications as is after ftp to z/OS

John, not sure for CICS but jar files works fine under z/OS. I wrote some Java code under Windows and upload (ftp) them binary to z/OS and execute them without modifications and vice versa. Be aware 1. The mainfest file must be ASCII regardless the development plattform (z/OS!!) 2. JDK 1.4.2 SR6 seems to have a problem with the etc/profile classpath settings. As a workaround you could add the classpath into your mainfest file (layout is a bit different). We had problems to email jar files but don't know the reason. Perhaps it's because of Mail-Setup. Haven't spend to much time to investigate. Roland On Wed, 27 Dec 2006 12:25:27 -0600, McKown, John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >This question just occurred to me.
