     Add Message:
  
       IBM0645S ONCODE= oncode-value Invalid UTF-16 data
                was detected.
  
       Explanation: While scanning a UTF-16 string,
       a widechar was found that indicated it was part
       of a surrogate pair, but the second widechar in
       that pair was invalid since it did not have a
       value of at least 'dc00'wx.
       The ONCODE associated with this message is 3023.
  
       Programmer Response: Correct the invalid data.
  
       System Action: The ERROR condition is raised.
  
       Symbolic Feedback Code: IBM0K5
  
       IBM0646S ONCODE=oncode-value An incomplete UTF-16
                character was detected.
  
       Explanation: An attempt was made to scan a UTF-16
       string, but the string ended with an incomplete
       UTF-16 character.
       The ONCODE associated with this message is 3024.
  
       Programmer Response: Correct the invalid data.
  
       System Action: The ERROR condition is raised.
  
       Symbolic Feedback Code: IBM0K6
  
       IBM0647S ONCODE=oncode-value USUBSTR reference
                is invalid.
  
       Explanation: In a USUBSTR(x,i,j) reference, i
       must be positive, j must be nonnegative and the
       sum of i + j - 1 must be less than or equal to
       ULENGTH(x).
       The ONCODE associated with this message is 3025.
  
       Programmer Response: Correct the invalid data.
  
       System Action: The ERROR condition is raised.
