Clean up your MONMSG

You should also remove the MCH3601 message from the joblog.  There is no
point in cluttering the joblog with unnecessary messages.  That is the difference
between a good programmer and a merely competent one.  You should be coding:

               CHGVAR     VAR(&IPNAME) VALUE(&RIPNAME)
               MONMSG     MSGID(MCH3601) EXEC(DO)
                 RCVMSG     MSGTYPE(*EXCP)
               ENDDO
or
               MONMSG     MSGID(MCH3601) EXEC(RCVMSG MSGTYPE(*EXCP))

The same thing is true for all instances where messages are monitored and
handled in the program.  A classic example is CHKOBJ followed by MONMSG and then a
CRTxxx command.  Clean up the joblog.  A certain automated operations software house
should practice this technique.
