Chances are that MPEX is a UDC that is really running MAIN.PUB.VESOFT with
the MPEX entry point like this:

    :run main.pub.vesoft,mpex

Unfortunately, neither the implied run command nor :XEQ, the two options for
suppressing the "END OF PROGRAM" message, supports alternate entry points.
But you should be able to change your udc to ":MPEX.PUB.VESOFT" to run MPEX
directly rather than as a son process of MAIN.PUB.VESOFT and it will
suppress the END OF PROGRAM message just as Barry said.

There may be ramifications of running MPEX directly. I am no expert on MPEX
so I can't comment on that. Perhaps someone else can fill any potential
problems with running MPEX standalone in that manner.
