Thanks much. Okay, I confirmed that MSGCLASS=Z will make output magically disappear.
Here is the proc as it exists today: //*-------------------------------------------------------------------- //IEFPROC EXEC PGM=IEFIIC,DPRTY=12,PARM=',,&GETWORK,BPXPRJRW' //********************************************************************/ //* */ //*01* PROCEDURE NAME : BPXAS */ //* */ //*01* FUNCTION: Used to start the MVS initiator */ //* */ //*01* COMPONENT: SC1B6 (Initiator) */ //* */ //*01* DISTRIBUTION LIBRARY: SYS1.PROCLIB */ //********************************************************************/ If I add the following as the first line of the proc is it likely to work, or at the very least, not make things worse? //BPXAS JOB MSGLEVEL=1,MSGCLASS=Z Charles On Mon, 10 Apr 2023 17:51:33 -0400, Steve Smith <[email protected]> wrote: >Those are OMVS "initiators", and as far as I can tell, there is no way to >control them.
