RE: stop Severity ?? message from percolate

Barbara:
Want to get your opinion on below

Lets say this is what I want to do:
1) Covert a huge OPM RPG program to ILE and run it in name activation group.
2) Note: I'm not sure what kind of notify messages will be generated from this 
program.

Which one would you pick:
1)Create a generic condition handler program to not percolate any message with 
severity of 0 or 1.  or
2)Create a generic condition handler program to not percolate by specific 
message such as CPF4906....

The message CPF4906 is sent as a notify message.  I don't know if
there's any correlation between the severity you see in the joblog and
the severity parameter for CEEHDLR.  It's the "notify" aspect of it
that's causing the problem - MONMSG monitors for escape, status and
notify.  OPM RPG and ILE RPG both monitor for some notify messages, but
by message id, not by severity.

The ILE RPG programmer's guide discusses this situation in the section
called "Problems when ILE CL Monitors for Notify and Status Messages". 
It suggests either having the caller in a different activation group, or
using CEEHDLR to handle any messages with a severity of 0 or 1.
