Conversion script exit statuses
From Messaging Server Technical Reference Wiki
The exit status returned by a conversion script (returned via the STATUS option in the OUTPUT_OPTIONS file on UNIX) can be used to tell the conversion channel to take one of a variety of actions. The conversion status values are defined in the file SERVERROOT/include/pmdf_err.h; see that file for the definitive numeric values of the status codes. Available status names, numeric values (as of this writing---but see the pmdf_err.h file for definitive values), and their meaning, are shown in Conversion exit status.
