The DROPSYM messages for symbols not found is information (not an error 
message). Setting FLAG( ) to any level will not suppress the message. It will 
produce the message so the only way to eliminate the message is to make DROPSYM 
conditional. The alternative is to direct it to print rather than terminal but 
that must be done using the SETDEF command.

NOSUMMARY will eliminate the messages about symbols dropped but does not affect 
the symbols not found message.

I don't think IBM has bothered to change this command because it has always 
worked. It's one of the few commands that doesn't support FLAG( ), 
PRINT/NOPRINT and TERMINAL/NOTERMINAL.
