Pat, Everytime I have implemented Netview including 1.0 thru the latest greatest, we used MPF to either pass or suppress Messages. Netview's message automation table can also do this If you pass all messages through MPF.

If you define NetView as VTAM's "primary programmed operator" VTAM passes its unsolicited messages to the PPO ACB and doesn't issue a WTO at all. That means that MPF doesn't get chance to play at all (yet). NetView can then decide to WTO the messages. If NetView WTOs them, _then_ MPF gets in the act. That word "unsolicited" is pretty important, though. Any VTAM activation message relating to resources in VTAMs configuration list - ATCCONxx - is considered solicited. VTAM WTO's those so MPF can supress them. ( BTW, Solicited VTAM messages are supposed to be command responses sent to the console issuing the command. I don't know what that means in this case. The console issuing the START NET? Consoles with AUTH=MASTER? Consoles with the network routecode (8, I think)? Whatever, they go where not wanted. Another option available in NetView V5.1 (or maybe it was 5.2) is the Message Revision Table where many MPF-ish actions (and several not so MPF-ish actions) are available in NetView's SSI.
