I don't do Unidata, but if there are such things as procs in Unidata - which
I take it there are from reading Allen Elwood's reply - you could also
simply execute the program from a proc using the proc 'PH' command which
hushes all output that would normally to the screen.
Example proc:
001 PQ
002 HRUN PROGRAM.FILENAME PROGRAM.ITEMNAME
or
002 HPROGRAM.ITEMNAME (to execute the program if it's compiled & catalogued
&there is an executable verb for it)
003 PH
the PH command should hush all output to terminal - sweet & simple.
below is some info on the proc ph command.
proc.ph: (Command) Process output buffers with "hush".
Applicable release versions: AP, R83
Category PROC (92)
Description processes the command(s) in the currently active output
buffer(s) and "hushes" terminal output. Output which would normally go to
the screen is turned off.
Alternatively - if you are running this program/job as a phantom process and
wan't to take the time & effort, you could do something like this...
PHANTOM.FLAG = @SYSTEM(25) ; *this returns a '1' of process is running as a
phantom, otherwise returns a '0'
then, for every print @(x,y) statement, do
IF NOT(PHANTOM.FLAG) THEN PRINT @(X,Y)
hope this helps.
