Need help with qshell, java

[John Bailo]

I created a java hello world application using EDTF.

When I go to compile it on my Iseries in the qsh shell, javac throws a bunch
of "illegal character" errors. Does EDTF store the text in some non-ascii
character set that the java compiler can't handle?

Unless you explicity specified otherwise, EDTF stores data in EBCDIC.
You can specify that EDTF should use ascii via F15 command key.
Use CCSID 819

Tim,

I changed it from 00037 to 00819, but when I hit enter it says "SELECTION
NOT VALID".

I also tried just putting in 819.

Nevermind -- it worked perfectly!

I just wasn't entering it correctly.

I had to put a "3" in at the top to indicate what field I was changing.

Now I was able to compile and run my java application on the iSeries
perfectly!

(Only a helloworld app, but it's exciting that I can do this with the
QSHELL).
