Problem:

When Mainframe Express is nearing the end date of its license, the product prompts with a dialogue box stating:

"You have nn days left on you Mainframe Express licenseā€

This becomes more than an irritation when running multiple command line statements within a .bat file, as each command will generate a prompt. How can this be removed / suppressed?

Resolution:

The workaround to this is to set a system environment variable on each Mainframe Express installed machine as follows:

PROT_NOCHECKDIALOG=Y

Any future processing of MFE or MFE command statements from command line or within a .bat file, will work without prompts.
