Hi..

Could any of you tell me how to supress system messages.

I.E for example if you run any command(tso/ispf/rexx) and there is some wanring that the system generates and sends messages to the output terminal.

Now my problem is i want to supress the system genarated messages and display my own messages.

Thanks,
Chenna

Hi,

if you use something like this, it should work:

x = OUTTRAP('VAR.')
....your programming here that results in system messages
y = OUTTRAP('OFF')

all of the sys-generated messages should now be stored in the var. stem variable (in case you want to look at them). I don't know 100% if this captures all messages, I used it to grab the Job infos when submitting a JCL thru Rexx.

cheers
