suppressing warning messages

[Boyle, Joe]

Hi Leonard,

Knowledge base documents suggest that there is a mis match between the
element size and the item size or even a conflict between the qualifiers of
a single element statement, two examples below,

Ex1.

the element below specifies 6 digits but the storage type of 'integer
unsigned size 2' can contain up to 5 digits only with a maximum value of
65536,

> element mynum num  size 6 datatype integer unsigned size 2
*W* The storage type and size may be too small for some values.


Ex2.

the record item below can store a maximum value which is much smaller than
that of the element on which it is based, hence the warning, 

ELEMENT <Element1> INTEGER SIGNED Size 4

RECORD <Record Name>
  ITEM <Element1> Datatype INTEGER SIGNED Size 2
*W* The storage type and size may be too small for some values.




regards,
Joe Boyle.

Subject: PDL: suppressing warning messages




HPe3000 -- PH 819C

In recompiling our PHD the screen is cluttered with numerous instance of the
following message:

*W* The storage type and size may be too small for some values.

Out of 349 warnings, 291 are of this type. There are 13 "duplicate"
definitions,
but with some work, we can remove those. The others have to do with
TurboImage
keys that have verbiage that relates to indexed files, and we probably could
clean those up as well.

Yes, I know I can suppress all warnings with SET NOWARN, but that might
cause me
to ignore some other warning that may have significance for our
applications.

So is there a way to suppress just this message? Is this pie in the sky?
