If you submit jobs to batch with any frequency, you've had to manage "completion message clutter" (i.e., JOB XXX COMPLETED NORMALLY). Completion messages may obscure other messages that you want to keep (I use my message queue as an informal to-do list, as well as to store bits of info sent by other users), and can be time-consuming to eradicate one at a time.
Command RMVJOBMSG (5a) and its processing program JOB002CL (5b) zap job completion messages, while leaving all other messages intact in your message queue. To run the command, you must be using the terminal you first signed on to, or the command will fail with an error message "unable to allocate message queue." Provide your message queue name (usually the same as your user sign-on), and the library name that the message queue lives in (as written, the library name defaults to QUSRSYS).
Command RMVJOBMSG (Figure 5a) and its processing program JOB002CL (Figure 5b) zap job completion messages, while leaving all other messages intact in your message queue. To run the command, you must be using the terminal you first signed on to, or the command will fail with an error message "unable to allocate message queue." Provide your message queue name (usually the same as your user sign-on), and the library name that the message queue lives in (as written, the library name defaults to QUSRSYS).
If you're worried about needing the completion messages seconds after completing the command, you could include a DSPMSG OUTPUT(*PRINT) to keep a hard copy.
