Job Message Queue

From: Vern Reeve

To: All Programmers

I've noticed that when I do a CHAIN to a subfile with a relative record number which doesn't exist in the subfile, it adds a message to my job message queue which says subfile record doesn't exist. Is there any way to prevent these low-severity messages from being added to the job message queue?

You can probably do what you want with the LOG parameter in the Change Job (CHGJOB) command. The second element in the LOG parameter indicates the minimum severity needed before a message is logged. I think this element defaults to 00, which is why all messages are logged. If you change it to one level higher than the severity of the message you want to avoid, the message won't appear. Check the severity level of the pesky message with the Display Message Description (DSPMSGD) command.

Sometimes I receive unwanted messages in my program message queue, but I do a CALL to a CL program that does a RMVMSG PGMQ(*PRV) CLEAR(*ALL) that clears them out.
