If I code below code into my REXX program,
| Code: |
"FREE FI(outdd)"
"FREE FI(indd)" |
and always below message come out, which is not necessary and I do not want it to appear out.
| Code: |
IKJ56247I FILE OUTDD NOT FREED, IS NOT ALLOCATED
IKJ56247I FILE INDD NOT FREED, IS NOT ALLOCATED
*** |
How can I achieve this?
thanks.
is there a general way to eliminate some message when TSO command completes? |

Hello,
If you have not allocated the file, do not free it. . .
It is simply code that can be modified to work as you wish. . . |

HI, dick,
I think it's a good practice to Free the file before Allocation, right?
so, message cannot eliminated for TSO command? |

Yes they can, look at MSG in the manuals
Something you should have done before posting here |

| Or you could use the REUSE parameter in the ALLOC command. |

Below mentioned will trap the message to array.
| Code: |
x = outtrap("zzz.")
"FREE FI(outdd)"
"FREE FI(indd)"
x = outtrap("OFF")

I know it's not a good practice to free files when they are not allocated. But I use:-
to suppress TSO messages. |

Well, actually it is a good practice. Maybe you have processed the same or another REXX or CLIST that has allocated the same file name, but has failed before deallocation. |

But wouldn't that mean being plauged by those pesky TSO messages if the files have been freed in the previous REXX itself? |

| I agree with kbrahma. Hunt down the pesky things leaving allocations unfreed, and make some sort of penalty box. Value of two pints of beer to be contributed each time you leave something unfreed. |

| No, because you would have set MSG to OFF |

I guess it's pa-tae-to, pa-ta-to... Some would like to clean up the files in the end of their program and some would clean it up before starting a new one.
I personally like the former one (as I stated earlier), cause in case you need some other TSO messages (and you can't set MSG to OFF) in your program, the "FILE NOT FREED" will just look ugly in the output! hehe...  |

So you flick the MSG OFF or ON as required.
I usually clean up my files at both ends of the process |
