Another good question. > > Why APPLY CHECK does not check presence/lack of ot? > > Why SMP/E does not use PATH variable? Perhaps because SMP/E does not run in a UNIX shell environment. It starts out as a normal z/OS batch program (not a UNIX process). When it needs to run the "jar" command, it is "dubbed" as a UNIX process. This process does not set up any UNIX environment variables. PATH is a UNIX environment variable. Normally it is set in by the "login shell" (/bin/sh) via the /etc/profile shell script. And perhaps futher modified by the ~/.profile script and/or the shell script in the specified in the ENV environment variable, if any. > > > -- > Radoslaw Skorupka > Lodz, Poland > > > P.S.
