Hi all,
In our site there is a backup utility(CLIST) for which we can specify one changeman package number and it will take the backup and display the backup file name. Now i am trying to reuse this utility to take bulk backups. To be more precise, i will give a list of changeman packages in an input file to my new rexx program. This rexx program will call the CLIST for all the package numbers in the list. The rexx is working fine. But the problem is that there are lots of TSO/E messages displayed in the screen for one package itself. So for the whole list there will be lots of messages in the terminal.
I want to avoid these messages. I tried using MSG('OFF') in my rexx which calls the clist, but understand that command will not carry over to the module being called. I dont know what is the command in CLIST to hide the TSO/E messages. Can any one help me?

Thanks
Jaison

Hi Kolusu,
Thanks for the quick response. But I have already seen this link. In the link which you provided, the program is a rexx program. But i am calling a CLIST from my REXX and i want to supress the message comming from the CLIST. Please let me know whether there is any way to suppress messages in a CLIST. I tried MSG('OFF') in my CLIST, but its not working.

thanks
Jaison

Jaison,

You need to use the CONTROL command in your clist.

This is the link:

Try CONTROL NOMSG. If that doesn't work, experiment!

Cheers,
Merv
