Lizette, MSGID only places the ID in the message.
In the TSO PROFILE have you tried NOWTPMSG NOWTPMSG - SPECIFIES THE USER DOES NOT WISH TO RECEIVE WRITE TO PROGRAMMER MESSAGES AT HIS TERMINAL I have not tested it but it may do what you want. Regards, Herman Stocker It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious. -- Robert Heinlein -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Friday, June 01, 2012 12:44 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: How to suppress Message in REXX App Cross Posting to IBM Main and TSO-REXX I have a Rexx process that issues the HLIST command. I have been successful in trapping the output from the HLIST but have an issue when the message ARC0138I is issued. I have tried turning off all of the TSO PROF functions (MSGID, INTERCOM, etc) I have tried turning off message for that section of the code MSG('OFF') Any yet it keeps getting produced so the user has to keep hitting enter until they are cleared. This message can be overwhelming if my user requests 100's of datasets that do not have an MCDS entry. Does anyone know if this message can be suppressed from a TSO session? IF so, suggestions?
