Re: Java exits with status 2.

>OS level?  z/OS 2.1 

 Java level? 8.  Just downloaded from IBM.
 > If older, 31-bit or 64-bit? 
 64-bit.
 

 >Exactly the same result with <whatever> older Java and latest version 8?
 Yes. That is the strange part.  It doesn't matter what version I try to run I always get a 2.  Points to it being environmental rather than java-specific.
 

 >When you say "in omvs", what do you mean? You're running Java under TSO? Or are you just using omvs to mean UNIX?
 

 From ISPF option 6 I enter omvs.  
 .profile runs setting up env vars as expected.
 Command java -version produces no output and ends very quickly.
 Command java -version; echo $? produces a 2
 

 I get the same result (predictably) if I run BPXBATCH JCL.  No output, just an exit status of 2.
