Shane, we follow your road to put as much as possible into /etc/profile even we never get in touch. Single point of control is always our prefered way.

If not set, use the command EXPORT JAVA_HOME = ' > /usr/lpp/java/IBI/J5.0/bin' (or one of the other suggestions depending upon > what Java you actually have), then run SETUP.SH At home having just walked the mutts, and my 1.7 build was a few months back - so all that follows is from memory. Value it accordingly. Contrary to John, I prefer to have these things system-wide - i.e. in /etc/profile. Just like SYS1.PARMLIB - I look after it, and it's my responsibility to make it right. We have always set JAVA_HOME without the "/bin"; when constructing the $PATH, I then use $PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin. That way it's always built correctly when versions change. As I was installing the 64 bit 1.5 with z/OS 1.7, and there was 31-bit 1.4 (Java) on my old (z/OS) 1.4 system, I wrapped some simple "if logic" around the assignment of JAVA_HOME so I could IPL either z/OS 1.4 or 1.7 without screwing up the Java environment. Well, not too much anyway. Java needs to be ordered - the 1.4 used to be freely downloadable, but (later ???) the SMP packaged version needed to be ordered. Too long ago to remember exactly I'm afraid. For us the 64-bit had to be specifically added to the 1.7 order. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
