Use the ovrmsgf command to override qusrmsg to a message file of your
choosing. In that message file, use addmsgd to create a message CPC1163,
with no message text or second level text. The system will not insert an
empty message into the joblog. If you're not familiar with ovrmsgf, it
works a little like a library list. If the message ID isn't in there, it
uses the original message file instead, so there's no (minuscule) chance of
unintended consequences.
