Option to suppress/disable diagnostic sections in the SHOW STEPS report for IBM Optim z/OS

Problem Statement:

In IBM Optim v11.7, the SHOW STEPS report automatically displays additional diagnostic sections-specially Untraversed Table(s), Unselected Relationship(s), and Unknown Relationship(s). 

This functionality introduces unwanted diagnostic noise to user reports. Users already extract unused and unknown relationship details using the REL function. Automatically appending these sections to every SHOW STEPS report impacts readbility and automated report parsing. 

Currently, there is no SITE or USER parameter (E.g, within FOPMDFLT) or display toggle available to suppress these extra diagnostic sections from outputting. 

Desired Solution: 

Provide a configurable SITE or USER parameter (or a display toggle option in FOPMDFLT) that allows administrators and end-users to suppress/disable diagnostic sections(Untravered Tables(s), Unselected Relationship(s), and Unknown Relationship(s)) in the SHOW STEPS report, restricting the output strickly to the traversal steps(Step1 through N).
