Using SDSF with the Java programming language

This topic provides an overview of accessing SDSF function with the Java™ programming language, and describes how to protect the use of SDSF through Java.

Using SDSF with Java allows you to create Java applications that exploit SDSF function. It provides a more powerful alternative to using SDSF in batch, which is described in Using SDSF in batch, and complements SDSF's support for REXX, which is described in Using SDSF with the REXX programming language.

You must be authorized to use SDSF from Java and you must be authorized to the SDSF functions that you invoke from Java.

System programmers should define ISFPARMS group membership to ensure that SDSF users have the proper authorization when invoking SDSF with Java. For more information, see Security and Java.
