Readme file for PL/I - Java Variables Sample Application - V1.0


  These sample programs demonstrate two different ways that Java and
PL/I can use to exchange values of variables.  In the first way PL/I
calls a 'getter' and 'setter' method in the Java Object it wishes to
update by using the JNI function CallObjectMethod.  In the second way
PL/I gets the Field ID of the Field it wishes to update in the Java
Object then calls the JNI functions GetObjectField and SetObjectField
to get and update the contents of the field.                                    */
