Suppressing *W* messages in PDL

[Joe Boyle]

you could also use one of the seemingly infinite LISTF permutations to map
your qshow/pdl output file as a dictionary file and quiz through it as
below,

acc qshowrep

Select if (0 lt index (qshowrep_rec , "*W* The storage type" )          &
 and (0 lt index (qshowrep_rec, "may be too small"

rep qshowrep_rec etc....

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."
