Redirecting Java's Standard Output, Take 2

Hey, David:

Regarding your Redirecting Java's Standard Output article in the July 16, 2003 issue of Midrange Guru.

As a coincidence, I was looking into this question that day, so I read your article with special interest. Just after I read your article, I found out about another method of redirecting stdout and stderr:

1. In the home directory as listed in the user profile HOMEDIR parameter, or directory /QIBM/UserData/Java400, add a file called SystemDefault.properties. In that file, add two lines. For example:

   os400.stdout=file:/home/bmorris/stdout.txt
   os400.stderr=file:/home/bmorris/stderr.txt

2. Change environment variable QIBM_USR_DESCRIPTOR_STDIO

ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_USE_DESCRIPTOR_STDIO) VALUE(Y)

Now, stdout and stderr output will go to those files.
