I am trying to run a shell script in QSH of IBM i. It seems there is a problem in the system translating the variables due to the curly braces used in the script. Has anybody encountered this and know any work-around?

> ./setWebServiceProperties.sh -server WSERVICE1 -service myservice -userid *AUTHENTICATED

Hi,

What do i remember from the past is that Qshell supports only code page 37 so it can be just informational message. However i need to check if it is still true. 

Regarding $آJAVA_HOMEآ/bin/java not found - it seems to be a path issue to me. Can you please this( echo $PATH) and provide the snap? Do you also use environment variable on the system? If yes, what is the environment variable set on your system ? 

Dear Del

There is an IBM Technote indicating that the message "001-0072 CCSID 420 is not supported.  qsh is initialized for CCSID 37. " is normal for a Qshell session and can be ignored.   But I see that the last message that " ./setWebServiceProperties.sh: 001-0014 Command $آJAVA_HOMEآ/bin/java not found." should not be ignored.    Have you set your system environment variable JAVA_HOME properly?  Use WRKENVVAR  LEVEL(*SYS - and *JOB) command to check it.   It should point to  '/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdkNN/XXbit'   where NN = JDK level you need to use and XX = 32 or 64 bit.  More information on JAVA-HOME is here:  How to determine what Java Development Kits (JDKs) are installed and use them in your environment? at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-determine-what-java-development-kits-jdks-are-installed-and-use-them-your-environment
