I have just noticed a very strange behaviour of an MPF exit that is supposed to suppress messages from hardcopy log. The exit does this: OI CTXTRFB2,CTXTRDTM
We have an abundance of IEC161I messages that clutter up hardcopy log (among other things). So I set the exit to suppress iec161i while the joblog and the TSO user still get it. This was the result: TSU00606 00100211 IEC161I 056-084,xxxxxx,ISPFPROCISPFPROC,IPCSDDIR,,,xxxxxx.DDIR, 533 533 00100211 IEC161I xxxxxx.DDIR.D,CATALOG.USER Note that the message clearly says it 'bypassed hardcopy', but it didn't, otherwise I would not have seen it in hardcopy log. (It normally gets issued with these flags in hclog: 00000090 - not serviced by any exit, automation requested.) Then I tried the same exit on 00000090 $HASP373 jobname STARTED - INIT 1 - CLASS A - SYS ADCD 00000291 $HASP395 jobname ENDED These messages got suppressed without a problem. Now comes the puzzling part: When I tried IEC161I again (same exit, no source code change, no lla refresh, just another t mpf command to remove suppression of hasp373/395), IEC161I *also* got suppressed as it should have been all along. z/OS maintenance level is fairly recent, MFA is disabled, we run NetView 5.4 at a fairly old maintenance level. No IEA364E had been issued during this IPL. What am I missing here? Why did it not work all along?
