You can't use VTAM messages as a model. NetView and VTAM have a very special relationship. VTAM has aProgramed Operator Interface. When NetView (and probably some other programs like NetMaster) is defined as VTAM's Primary Programmed Operator VTAM does not issue WTOs for most of its unsolicited messages; it sends them across the POI. It is then up to NetView to log the messages, issue WTOs for them, etc. NetView's message automation can suppress those because it has control over the WTOs. That is obviously not the case with IEE252I. However, ... Newer NetViews (5.2 and up?) have another technique - Message Revision processing that runs in NetView SSI rather than in the NetView application address space. NetView loads a Message Revision Table into its SSI and is then out of the picture; suppression or modification takes place in the SSI. This *can* suppress non-VTAM messages like IEE252I. And MRT can still be used, of course.
