Explanation

A conversion error occurred during the conversion of a string to a different coded character set. The error occurred during the processing of the utility statement.

The from-ccsid identifies the coded character set of to be converted. and the to-ccsid identifies the coded character set to which it must be converted.

The 'error-code' indicates the type of error as defined as follows: 8 - Length exception (for example, expansion required for PC MIXED data exceeds the maximum length of the string). 12 - Invalid code point 16 - Form exception (for example, invalid MIXED data). 20 - Translate procedure error (for example, an error during Unicode/390 stage 2 conversions or an exit set the length control field of the string to an invalid value). 24 - the conversion services have not been setup correctly or the conversion is not supported.
