No authorization is required to code a WTO that specifies a user route code. To prevent consoles from displaying the messages you would define the consoles as not receiving the desired route code(s). So instead of receiving All route codes for a console, you omit one or more codes that you don't want to see and then code your program to use that code.

Doc is "z/OS MVS Routing and Descriptor Codes"; apparently the last version is for z/OS 1.5.
