David,

The only method I know is default message reply. Something like:

ADDRPYLE SEQNBR(1000) MSGID(CPA32B2) RPY('I')
CHGJOB INQMSGRPY(*SYSRPYL)

HTH,

This may fall in the 'dumb question' category ... but is there a way to do
a ALTER TABLE DROP <field> statement without getting an inquiry message that
requires a reply?

I've found discussion in the past that describes creating a temporary
message file, overriding the message reply, and changing the job to use auto
reply.

I'm wondering if there is a way to drop a field without having to go
through those steps.

Thanks!
