Description lingram 2001-11-14 03:46:20 UTC 
A problem in the OpenVMS Java implementation prevents the actual exit status of
an exec'd command to be retrieved. The Process object's waitFor and exitValue
methods always return success status.

A patch should follow.
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2001-11-14 08:22:28 UTC 
So then you should fill P1 for OpenVMS Java implementation. I don't
understand how can I recognize, that the process failed if exitValue
works wrong.
Comment 2 Jiri Kovalsky 2001-11-14 08:34:17 UTC 
Right. BTW where is your patch ?
Comment 3 lingram 2001-11-14 21:45:36 UTC 
I entered this issue because it appeared that the problem with our JVM would not be
fixed in time for the V3.3 release. That was yesterday, today it looks like
a possibility that it may be fixed. I'm holding off on a patch for a while until I'm
sure this won't be fixed on our end.

I will reopen this issue only if necessary.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
