Why is QUICK doing a SETMSG ON (on MPE)?

[Bob Deskin]

QUICK does use SETMSG. We SETMSG ON to allow users to receive messages 
from the system operator, such as "Please sign off for system backups". 
This has been in QUICK since the early days. We SETMSG OFF when we switch 
to Block Mode (and back ON if we switch to Character Mode).

Greetings,

I hope this isn't too dumb a question from this PowerHouse novice.

On MPE/iX, I have a logon UDC that does a SETMSG OFF, issues a bunch of
file equations, and then runs QUICK.  By the time QUICK finishes
displaying the first screen, it apparently has done a SETMSG ON.  Why,
and how do I prevent this?

I have another, very similar, application where the logon UDC also does
a SETMSG OFF, and it stays off.  That is, a SHOWJOB shows that the
session is in QUIET mode.  I haven't been able to discern what's
different between the two applications.

Thanks for your help.
