Allow MONMSG RMV(*YES)

When running CL programs, the joblog contains a lot of messages that are not relevant to the process. For example consider this code snippet below which leaves message cpf9801 in the joblog. On the other hand, `monmsg cpf9801 exec(do) RMV(*YES)` would not leave this mark. 

/* Check if file exists, if not create it */

chkobj obj(qtemp/tempfile) objt(*file)

monmsg cpf9801 exec(do) rmv(*yes)

  crtpf qtemp/tempfile
  
enddo

    If you add the command "RCVMSG MSGTYPE(*LAST) RMV(*YES)", your unwanted message will be removed from the joblog.

    HTH.
