Hello Listers!

Has anyone figured out how to suppress the BLS18028I message.
This is the message issued as a result of a FIND command when the object of the 
FIND command was not found:

"BLS18028I Argument not found, searched to end of FINDAREA"

I am writing a REXX EXEC that issues various IPCS commands and I can suppress 
and/or capture most of them and then spit back the ones I'm interested in and 
handle the results of the others via the return code from the command. However, 
no matter what combination of (NO)PRINT, (NO)TERMINAL, FLAG() and (NO)VERIFY I 
try, none of them seem to work for me.

For example, one would think, based upon the description of the FIND command 
and the SETDEF operands discussion, that NOPRINT TERMINAL on the IPCS command 
and then wrapping the IPCS command with an OUTTRAP("msg.") and OUTTRAP("OFF") 
would allow the report to be clean and my REXX to know whether or not I found 
something via the return code.

It doesn't. The REXX is made aware of the success or failure of the FIND via 
the return code, but when the FIND finds nothing, I always get the BLS18028I 
message.

It's more frustrating than technical, but I'm trying to produce a custom report 
from the dump and this message gets in the way of the report's information.

Thanks for taking the time.

Chuck
