  CHFW0816E : Inbound channel XX does not have a discrimination
  weight. Explanation: The discrimination weight is the priority

  if it is the intended target for data that was received when
  port sharing is in use. The lower the number, the higher the
  priority. Any non-negative number is valid, and typically
  values between 0-100 are used.
