can i output to NULL from transformer ?

Hi
I have made a job that runs a stored procedure with the Stored Procedure Stage
The return value from this stored procedure is being put in the UserStatusArea of the job, for later reference in a sequence.
This is done in a transformer where i am calling a little routine writen in basic, that uses the DSSetUserStatus function to pass the return value to the UserStatusArea.
This is working fine
Problem is, a transformer needs an output link, so i gave it a text file to write something in.
i don't need that file for anything, so i am thinking if anybody has any good ideas of how to avoid this.
In a paralllel job i could just output to a peek stage but not in a server job.
Can i output to NULL from the transformer ?
any other ideas to avoid this extra file
Regards
Peter
