increase the PARM() lenght for the RUNJVA/JAVA command

the parameter PARM() for the RUNJVA/JAVA command is set to a artificial low value of 256.
Some java programs need parameters larger than this.


Use Case:

running a java program with a parameter length greater that 256

    The REF is over 3 years and still low votes, so we decide to decline it.

    it would be nice to have the parm values at the maximum length for command objcts.
    I have been using the ACS client in CL programs to "download" and create excel file from both a SQL statement and .DTFX pre created transfer definition.

    What is the new required maximum length you are looking for? And what is the use case? (for instance, do you use long file paths as parameters?)

    I understand where I could use the java command from the QSH/PASE environment.
    Using the QSH/PASE environment is not an option for this case.

    the problem was having to create one big parameter and RunJVA parameter length was artificially small.

    since the RUNJVA CL command is a "easier" interface to run java programs the command parameters must be large enough ta facilitate its use.

    IBM provide "java" command in PASE/QSHELL. There would not any limitation on the length of parameters, especially when write the long "java" command into a shell script. Can this meet your requirements?
