Do you truly want to set LE runtime options? Or do you just need to set some UNIX environment variables before invoking the Java program(s)? If you need to set environment variables in COBOL, then simpliest way is probably to include a //STDENV DD * statement and put in your "VARNAME=VALUE" pairs on separate lines. Oh, make sure that the dataset is UNNUM or the "line numbers" will mess with your mind <grin>. If you need to set them dynamically, there is an example of using "putenv" in the COBOL manual. 01 putenv-arg pic x(14) value Z'VAR=VALUE'. 01 P pointer. 01 RC pic 9(9) binary. ... set P to address of putenv-arg. call 'putenv' using by value P returning RC. if RC not = zero then display 'putenv failed. rc=' rc upon sysout end-if -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
