Hiding Product status List Options

SOLVED

After reviewing the product status options under product setup (Active, Obsolete, not usable, on shortage.. etc), we have decided that certain options are not applicable to our business process. To avoid confusion to our users, we'd like to hide some of the options from users. I know it's generally a very bad idea to remove any options from a standard local menu. Is there a way to keep the local menu the way it is, but visually hide those options on the screen? I am open to 4GL code changes, and but am unsure about how to code it.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
