There are too many IGD17296I messages in Batch Job Log.

    p.s. Want a solution not using assembler exits.. In our shop we are trying to eliminate as much of these as possible, not adding them.

    I agree for this message... but actualy it applies to all messages that should be able to be controlled as to what messages is (not) to be shown in the job output. Not only IGD17296I.
    Like IGD17271I ALLOCATION HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO PROCEED FOR DATA SET ... ALTHOUGH VOLUME COUNT REQUIREMENTS COULD NOT BE MET.
    That is so not interesting for the end user. And when his job fails, these are the messages that are confusing for less experienced z users.
