If you want to suppress spool entirely, replace sysout=* with DUMMY as

//sysout dd dummy

Just of curiosity,i wanted to know why you don't want compiler warning message? Because only when you now the mistakes, you can correct them?

y u r correct muthu...

but in program i know very clearly that few conditions wont met and few will satisfy, which inturn will display the warning message corrresponding to that. i m interested just to avoid the warning message alone.

Use the FLAG compiler option to select the level of error to be diagnosed during compilation, FLAG(E) will suppress the I and W level errors.
