Subject:      FW: call java method from within SAS/BASE
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

I have just started to learn Java, so I was curious how this would work.
I successfully complied the java code and it works. (I put it in my c:\junk
directory.)

However when I tried to run the SAS code, I got the following log results.
What did I do wrong?

7    filename javaout pipe "java c:\junk\HelloSAS";
8    data _null_;
9      infile javaout;
10     input;
11     put _infile_;
12   run;

NOTE: The infile JAVAOUT is:
      Unnamed Pipe Access Device,
      PROCESS=java c:\junk\HelloSAS,RECFM=V,
      LRECL=256

Stderr output:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: c:\junk\HelloSAS
Exception in thread "main"
NOTE: 0 records were read from the infile JAVAOUT.
NOTE: DATA statement used:
      real time           0.25 seconds
      cpu time            0.01 seconds

Something like this ?

HelloSAS.java
---
class HelloSAS
{
  public static void main( String args[] )
  {
    System.out.println("Hello SAS\n");
  }
}

filename javaout pipe "java HelloSAS";
data _null_;
  infile javaout;
  input;
  put _infile_;
run;
