INGINFO Number of history lines ?/SYS/? resources should be customizable

We start to use ihe INGSTX command to update user-defined status items. These updates generates lot of HSAL6181I messages to been seen in INGINFO
Resource => MVSJ/SYS/MVSJ
History
:
2014-10-13 11:10:38 Status Item
Update
HSAL6181I Variable attribute/nstat/SASDF.MVSJ.KLAOJ set to
00000004;

M#SASDF

2014-10-13 10:55:36 Status Item
Update
HSAL6181I Variable attribute/nstat/SASDF.MVSJ.KLAOJ set to
00000004;
M#SASDF

The number of messages is our concern.
It should be possible to restrict the number of messages like is possible with Capatured Message Limit in applications..

Other possibility is to add NOHISTORYLOG option to INGSTX command to avoid logging of these messages to history at all.

    I agree to a solution where HSAL6181I would be suppressed in the INGINFO output. Succesful INGSTX updates should not be logged this way.

    Hello Ron,
    I'd like to ask you a question to better understand your needs.
    From your RFE we understand, that you require HSAL6181I not being generated at all when processing INGSTX.
    Would you also agree to a solution where HSAL6181I would be suppressed in the INGINFO output?
    Thanks and best regards,
