Hi Ron, Thanks for the info. I have been playing around with the 'DIRM USEROPTN' command and it is a bit confusing. If I select both LOGGING OFF and RCVMSGS OFF I get :
DVHMNU1404E The LOGGING_OFF, RCVMSGS_INFO_OFF fields are conflicting DVHMNU1404E parameters. DVHMNU1406E You selected or filled in too many items; specify 1 item(s). However, I can turn them off individually. But when I go a QUERY , I get : DVHUOP3293I Links:0 Logging:2 RcvMsgs:0 Smsg:0 NeedPass:1 Lang:AMENG Shouldn't that "Logging:2" be "Logging:0" ? I'll try some more combinations Mike -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Schmiedge Sent: August 23, 2007 1:19 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Spool file from DIRMAINT Hi Mike, I think the answer you are looking for is the DIRMAINT USEROPTN setting. If you turn off both RCVMSGS and LOGGING for a userid, then whenever you change his directory both the messages from DIRMAINT that you see when you are logged on go away (thats the RCMSGS option) and the log file containing the messages is not sent (the LOGGING option). The LOGGING option is automatically turned on if you turn off RCVMSGS, so that the user gets sent the messages he missed in his reader for later viewing. So you probably need to turn off RCVMSGS first then LOGGING. This a change in the default from DIRMAINT R1.5, one that bit us when we went to z/VM 4.4.0. (And found out about from IBM when we opened an ETR).
