NUMBER: 63 ERROR CODE: E or I MESSAGE TEXT: output conversion error EXPLANATION: During a formatted output operation, the value of a particular number could not be output in the specified field length without loss of significant digits. If /CHECK=NOOUTPUT_CONVERSION is in effect, the severity is I. In this case (or if no ERR address is defined for the I/O statement encountering this error), the program continues and the entire overflowed field is filled with asterisks (*) to indicate the error in the output record. The ERR transfer is taken after completion of the I/O statement for this error number. The resulting file status and record position are the same as if no error had occurred. However, other I/O errors take the ERR transfer as soon as the error is detected, so file states and record position are undefined.
