Actually, the RPG programs that this CL calls, though designed to run in an interactive job, are essentially non-interactive in nature, riding The Cycle through various files to sweep them of orphaned records, and using DSPLY statements to indicate when they are deleting an orphaned record. There is no display file I/O involved.

Using DSPLY has the advantage that whatever I DSPLY gets copied into the joblog, which is potentially useful here (it sure was for development and debugging).

What I finally did was to move the "stage marker" messages (announcing the various RPG program calls) from the CL program into *INZSR routines in the RPG programs themselves (in most of them, that's ALL that *INZSR does!).

9 Cycle programs, all controlled by Primary Files, some of them opening externally described files as program-described, in order to avoid level-checks, one of them called 25 times (with overrides in the CL) and using the Open Feedback to determine the actual name and key length, and NONE of them use O-specs or display files.

Interesting week.
