Well I wouldn't mind the spoolfile but seeing the list is QSYSOPR is
just clutter. Is there an option to suppress this in QSYSOPR or all
together with affecting the other reports?

Would what is described have its origins according to the following reference to the "Print recovery reports" (PRTRCYRPT) parameter of STRMNTBRM?:

IBM i 7.1 Information Center -> Systems management -> Backup and recovery -> Backup, Recovery, and Media Services for i -> Appendixes -> Appendix B. A Summary of BRMS Reports
_i Save Strategy Exceptions Report (QP1ALE) i_
"The Save Strategy Exceptions report lists libraries that have not been saved by a BRMS control group. You can run the Media Information report by using the WRKMEDIBRM SAVTYPE(*NONE) OUTPUT(*PRINT) command which scans the media information for libraries that have not been backed up. The library name, description of the library (if any), and the total number of libraries are listed in the Save Strategy Exceptions report.

If a control group exists which includes special values such as *ALLUSR, a new user library is still listed in this report if it has not previously been saved. Once it has been saved, it will not appear on the Saved Strategies Exceptions report.

You can also use the STRMNTBRM command and specify *ALL or *SAVEXCP for the PRTRCYRPT parameter to produce the Save Strategy Exceptions report."

If so, then would replacing the special value *ALL with an explicit list of special values naming\choosing the specific reports that are desired [and thus excluding the special value *SAVEXCP] effect an acceptable resolution?
