Need option to suppress selected recoup messages

DXC has opened a few PMRs (64053, 91012, and 72575) in the past to resolve the issue with TOS consoles falling back because TOS can't keep up with the high volume of recoup status messages. IBM did provide a software patch to prevent losing the console. However, the high volume of status messages flooding the console during recoup is causing the TOS Raven software to get behind in processing messages. When Raven is 65,000 lines behind, it shuts down.
There are 3 different types of recoup status messages sent to the console. RECP0842 comes out at the beginning of every prime group and has approximately 3000 lines of messages.RECP0843 comes out at the completion of evert prime group and has approximately 9000 lines of output. RECP0844 comes out every time a prime group switches I-S, processor and SSU. In PSS this is about 340,000 lines of output.
Currently, ZRECP PROFILE STATUSCON-NO and FSC-NO will suppress all types of recoup status messages. We need the RECP0842 and REP0843 messages, but not the RECP0844 messages. We need an option to suppress only the RECP0844 messages to prevent the TOS Automation from falling shutting down.

    Based on resources and priorities, IBM does not intend to implement this in the foreseeable future.
