Explanation
The named volume failed SMS/non-SMS conversion because of data sets that cannot be converted
existing on the volume. The volume is left in INITIAL status at the end of processing. If TEST was
specified, this message indicates that processing would have failed if the job had actually been
run. No changes occur to the volume under TEST.
System action
Processing continues with the next volume in the input volume list. The return code is 8.
