How do I make DSMUTMSG go away automatically?

Question

How can I keep the messages file from staying around at end of job? I'm specifying MESSAGE(DELAY).

Answer

  In VM, map the DSMUTMSG file to a filemode of A3 using .DD.  These files
  are discarded after they are read. Use the following code as an example:

     .dd dsmutmsg (dsmutmsg script a3)

  You can do this to any of the DSMUTxxx files if you don't want them left on
  your A-disk.

  In TSO, the utility files are allocated as temporary datasets so they go
  away at end of job anyway. If you don't want them discarded, redefine them
  with .DD.
