Sorry, I guess I didn't state the question very well. I'm aware of scoping commands to the Data Session. I can demonstrate that they are in effect because an Esc trapped by VFP is handled properly. The problem arises when the Esc is trapped by SQL Server during the execution of the SPT query. VFP doesn't seem to recognize this an Esc and certainly doesn't process it as one.

My question is: how can I suppress the messages when the Esc is handled by SQL?
