CCSID conversion status indicator (TXTCCSTA) return field

TXTCCSTA is the text CCSID conversion status indicator.

Return codes help you determine what happened when the system converted your message text to the CCSID-to-convert-to parameter. Positive return code numbers indicate that your conversion was successful. A successful return code does not always indicate that a conversion occurred. Negative return code numbers indicate that a conversion error occurred.

The following list shows the available return codes:

0
No conversion was necessary. The CCSID of the text matched the CCSID that you wanted the text converted to.
1
No conversion occurred. Either the text was 65535 or the CCSID that you wanted the text converted to was 65535.
2
No conversion occurred. You did not ask for any text to be returned.
3
The text was converted to the CCSID specified. The conversion operation used the linguistic conversion tables.
4
A conversion error occurred when the conversion operation used the linguistic conversion tables. The conversion operation then used a default conversion table. The default conversion completed without error.
-1
An error occurred on both the linguistic and default conversions. The text was not converted.
