Redirection of errors? (SYS$ERROR)

» close window

The Question is:

 
How can I turn off system messages such as:
 
%DIRECT-W-NOFILES, no files found
 
SET NOON and BROADCAST don't do it.
 
Thanks
 

The Answer is :

 
  The OpenVMS Wizard would strongly encourage you to read through the
  OpenVMS User's Guide, and available DCL books from Digital Press.

  There are several common approaches, depending on the context.
 
    o Within DCL command procedures, use lexical functions such as
      f$search and not DCL commands such as DIRECTORY.
 
    o Use the SET MESSAGE command in conjunction with the
      f$environment lexical function keyword MESSAGE.
 
    o Temporarily redirect output of the command, via DEFINE/USER
      commands for SYS$OUTPUT and SYS$ERROR:
      $ define/user sys$output nla0:
      $ define/user sys$error nla0:
      $ directory/output=x.x nosuchfile
 
    o Use the PIPE command:
      $ pipe directory/output=x.x nosuchfile > nla0: 2> nla0:
