Re: Force ENDSBS and/or VARYOFF - clarification

Kat,

In your original post you mentioned you didn't like to modify the system
replylist 'because of the inherent dangers'.

Why can't you add at the start of your procedure a addrpyle for the message
and at the end of the procedure immediately  do a rmvrpyle ?

Since it's a nightly task and a specific message/reply, this can't be much
of a risk?
