SDF-CONV distinguishes between NOTE, WARNING, ERROR and FAILURE.
If an ERROR or FAILURE occurs, the error message is output to SYSOUT as well as to SYSLST. The SDF-CONV conversion run is then aborted.
If a NOTE or WARNING occurs, the error message appears only in the log (output to SYSLST). After the error message has been issued, SDF-CONV processes the next command line of the input procedure.
The SDF-CONV messages have the following format: CVRxxxx <message-text>

In a few cases, a message will be output followed by one or more other error messages that are intended to provide a more precise description of the cause of the error or its impact. Messages of this explanatory nature can have the format CMDxxxx <message-text>.
More detailed information concerning the cause of the error or possible remedial action can be obtained with the aid of the error code (CVRxxx or CMDxxxx) and the HELP-MSG-INFORMATION standard statement or command (see the “Commands“ manual [1 (Related publications )]).
