Suppressing *W* messages in PDL

[Robert Mills]

Bob,

Your understanding is correct but there is NO way we can correct the cause of this message.

Wish there was a way of telling PDL "I know what the limit for a single and double integer is. If I exceeded it then its my own fault. Don't warn me about it."

regards,

Robert W.Mills
