Since this is a NOTE:, you could specify the SAS system option
NONOTES prior to invoking IML.

options nonotes;
proc iml;
...
call nlptr(...);
...;
quit;


I usually do not like to turn off NOTES, because you could lose
some important information that the note refers to. However,
in the case of a simulation where the volume of information
generated to the log file can become quite large, you may not
thoroughly examine the notes anyway.
