I see no reason why one should have to make a DROPSYM conditional as you suggest. You issue the command and, if you have NOSUMMARY, the command response should be, well, nothing! After all, that's what the NOSUMMARY is defined as meaning. From the manual: SUMMARY or NOSUMMARY SUMMARY

Thanks Jon, this is the best explanation I've heard so far about why NOSUMMARY doesn't suppress the NO SYMBOLS DROPPED message. I'll have to give some serious thought to adding conditional logic to the DROPSYM process. The biggest problem I have is that majority of the symbols being dropped

This is easy to fix by having at least one symbol that will be dropped. Simply equate a symbol that falls in the range before you do the dropsym. By the way it's closer to wildcarding than a range. address IPCS EQUATE 0  /* assign to eliminate DROPSYM message */ DROPSYM X:Y NOSUMMARY

You are correct but it's very unlikely to be fixed.  The default is FLAG(WARNING) so why does IBM even bother producing informational messages that are conditionally displayed. Does anyone run FLAG(INFO)? Is there anything useful produced?   Jon Perryman.
