I never compile quiz and qtp and about 1/4 are called from menus.  Just add:

SET NOWARN
SET NOSTAT
SET NOLIST

In your source. I like to at the beginning of each pass with these
statements. Plus when I call the quiz/qtp from a RPG/COBAL/command prompt I
use the following parameters:

QUIZ AUTO=file_name,LIST=NOLIST

It looks just like the complied quiz/qtp.
