The write statement may or may not be in a cross reference.  The VHA DBA and SACC did come out with a standard stating that there should be now direct WRITE statements in any DD data elements.  If WRITE statements are required, then the application is suppose to use EN^DDIOL.
 
Thus you could have several situations here:
1. Not knowing how exactly you called "silent APIs" the system may interpret you as an interactive user and thus EN^DDIOL would output to the screen.  Not a bug
 
2. The silent APIs are not responsible for the contents of individual DD nodes nor is it responsible for the whims of the developer of that DD component.  Not a bug.
 
3. You may be invoking an old DD element that existed prior to the standards mentioned above.  There may have been no need for that application to have revisited that DD element since then.  Thus it was in compliance at the time.  Not a bug.  Nor is it a SACC violation.  I do not believe the VA developers are required to go through all their old code every time there is an update to the SACC standards.  Anything the VA developers submit for release must comply with all the latest standards.

Well, from what I am seeing, i.e. output during a silent-db-call,
doesn't that mean that there is an output in a cross-reference?

I guess I could do a text-file search for the offending output, but I
wouldn't new if it was OK to change it.
