Then this:

PARM('/plugin=cldownload' '/system=PIPPIN'

'/clientfile=/qibm/userdata/Marina/testfilecmd2' '/sql=selec

t itnbr, itdsc from itmrva where itnbr between ''6002'' and ''6006'' ') CLASSPAT

H('/QIBM/ProdData/Access/ACS/Base')


and get the following error:

Java program completed with exit code 1


But, if I run this under Java 8, there is no issues.


More and more clients are having to use both Java 8 and Java 11. I have both installed on my server and some of my Java jobs are required to use Java 11. This means that the jobs that require java 11. I can not use the CLdownload function in ACS.

    This is likely a defect and should be handled through IBM support.


    A temporary workaround is likely available by running with -Djava.awt.headless=true. For instance
