convert3 Error Messages
convert3 returns a result code to the calling program once it has
finished a run. This code is in the form of a 3-byte number in ASCII
format. If the first byte of this number is a 0, it denotes that
convert3 has terminated its run successfully and has reported no errors.
Any other number appearing as the first byte in the result code indicates
that convert3 has detected an error.
If an error is reported, the first byte of the result code indicates the
type of that error as shown in the table below.

If you receive an error code which starts with the number 5 or 6, then it
is not followed by a number to identify a specific error. Instead, these
errors are of a general nature and merely indicate that an error has
occurred within the record description, or the parameter description. If
you receive one of these errors you can detect its specific cause by
looking through the parameter list in the list file. If you did not
specify a list file, this parameter list is sent to the screen.
