Hi

I dont think you can do that, but you can just delete the *.map and *.id 
files after the translation, then Mapinfo would see these files as not 
mappable

To do it automatically you can use the FME_END_TCL directive and then have a 
smal tcl proc do all the 'dirty' work

a tcl function doing this could look like this

In the mapping file / workespace put
FME_END_TCL source {<path>/mytclscript.tcl}  ; dropMI_Map {$(DestDataset)}

where <path> is tha path to the script

and in the myscript.tcl file put this
proc dropMI_Map {dataDir} {

     set worDir [pwd]
     cd $dataDir
     foreach f [glob -nocomplain -- *.id ] {
             catch { file delete -force -- $dataDir/$f }
     }

     foreach f [glob -nocomplain -- *.map ] {
             catch { file delete -force -- $dataDir/$f }
     }
     cd $worDir
}

have fun
