Grammar: MSGKILL TRUE turn off message file. MSGKILL FALSE turn message file on. All messages from AIPS and tasks started after turning off the message file will appear on the terminal and then be lost. This is not recommended. ---------------------------------------------------------------- MSGKILL Type: Pseudoverb Use: To turn on and off the use of the message file or to suppress messages entirely. This pseudoverb may be one of several commands on a line and is invoked with the grammar MSGKILL TRUE turns off message file MSGKILL suppress messages of priority <= MSGKILL FALSE turn on all messages & file On MSGKILL TRUE, all messages will be displayed on the terminal , but no messages go to the message file. On MSGKILL m, where m = 2 - 10, all messages <= m in priority are suppressed from BOTH the terminal and the file. Messages with m > 5 are error messages and should not be totally suppressed; m = 5 is usually for "serious" answers; and m < 5 are for informative matters. This parameter is known only to those tasks started after it has been specified. The use of this option is not recommended. Important messages, be they primary answers from verbs and tasks or significant error messages will be lost while MSGKILL is set to TRUE. The programming staff will not help you with your problems under these conditions. ----------------------------------------------------------------
