Where is javac

[Steve Dyke]

If my machine class path is

C:\WDSC\JAVA;.;C:\WDSC\sdk;C:\Program Files\Ibm\Client Access\jt400\lib\uitools.jar;C:\Program Files\Ibm\Client Access\jt400\lib\jui400.jar;C:\Program Files\Ibm\Client Access\jt400\lib\data400.jar;C:\Program Files\Ibm\Client Access\jt400\lib\util400.jar;C:\Program Files\Ibm\Client Access\jt400\jre\lib\jhall.jar;C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\jt400\lib\x4j400.jar;C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\jt400\lib\jt400.jar;C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\jt400\lib\reportwriter.jar;C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\jt400\lib\composer.jar;C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\jt400\lib\outputwriters.jar;C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\jt400\lib\jasperreports.jar;C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\jt400\lib\JRtest1.jasper

And the javac is located in the c:\WDSC\sdk\bin folder.

Shouldn't I be able to call the javac from any directory command line?

Is "c:\WDSC\sdk\bin" part of your PATH?? if yes then is it correct that you should call javac from any folder.

Yes before you need to add ;c:\WDSC\sdk\bin

and yes you need to add the semi-colon in there to tell the path that this is a seperate directory from the one before it. Currently Your path does not have the c:\WDSC\sdk\bin in it yet.

Thanks. I was tring to put it in the wrong place.

I'm not sure if this was made clear, but it's the PATH variable that should contain javac's location. The CLASSPATH is an entirely different thing.
