cobsje fails to setup the Java environment correctly

Problem:

To setup the Java environment with Micro Focus COBOL run the command

    . $COBDIR/bin/cobsje -v -J <Java_Home>

If  running on HP/UX 11.11 the cobsje script will abend with the error:

    ksh: COBCPY: parameter not set

Resolution:

This is a problem with HP/UX 11.11.  

The workaround is to set the environment variable COBCPY to anything prior to running the cobsje script:

    export COBCPY=A

   . $COBDIR/bin/cobsje -v -J <Java_Home>

This is not a problem running on HP/UX 11.00.
