────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     HIDEMESSAGE "integer" will add integer to a list of up to 20 syntax
     check error message numbers. To hide several error message numbers
     using this feature, you must use the HIDEMESSAGE directive
     repeatedly.
 
     When the program is being syntax checked, any message with its number
     in the list will not be shown in any listing. It will not be included
     in the error summary at the end of the compilation. All levels of
     error are affected by this directive.
 
     NOHIDEMESSAGE will clear the list of numbers so no messages are
     hidden.
