This RFE has been delivered via:
V6.2: APAR PH30265 was shipped in the October V6.2 PTF
V6.3: APAR PH29714 will be shipped in the November V6.3 PTF
This RFE is being accepted and has been put into plan.
Hello,
it would be enough, if the SYSOPTF then is used.
But i think, the message (currently) appears before the Option with the MessagExit is read into the Compiler.
Maybe the PrintOut is (if only a warning) deferred until the MessagExit is up and running.
But it is a Try.

Hi,
We confirmed that message 4019 has level E (RC=8).
While re-visiting this RFE, a question came up ie will the PARMDD option of JCL satisfy this requirement, and if not, would changing the severity of message 4019 to W to allow customization of that message (ie: making it go away) be satisfactory?
We look forward to hearing back from you.
Thanks.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Programming Languages
Product - COBOL Compilers
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Rational
Product family - Design & development
Product - COBOL Compilers
This is in-line with our multi year strategy. This RFE will be updated when we put it in plan.
When using a default of OPTFILE:
Lowering the severity of IGYOS4019-E (OPTFILE set, but no SYSOPTF DD found) would not be a good solution, because if i explicitly give PARM='OPTFILE' then i enforce the SYSOPTF DD with all consequences.
The Usage of MSGEXIT for getting an Error (if it would be lowered as warning message) would depend on correct parameter settings, because MSGEXIT is also an parameter. So it couldn't work at this time.
Maybe if PARM string is empty, check for SYSOPTF DD and use it, if available.
