Chapter 18 Error Messages
Errors Reported by convert5
convert5 returns a result code to the calling program once it has
finished a run. See Chapter 16 for details of the calling program. This
result 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 convert5 has terminated
its run successfully and has reported no errors. Any other number
appearing as the first byte in the result code indicates that convert5
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, 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
respectively. If you receive one of these errors, you can detect its
specific cause by looking through the parameter list in the printfile.
If you did not specify a printfile, this parameter list is sent to the
screen.
