TERMINAL IS 
unsupported-type
Conversion is supported only for 
program units with terminal types 
T16-6520, T16-6530, T16-6540, 
and IBM-3270. The converter 
generates an error and continues 
converting the rest of the program. 
The converted Java code contains a 
non-compilable statement.
The program unit 
cannot be converted.
TERMINALINFO The converter generates an error and 
continues converting the rest of the 
program.  The converted Java code 
contains a non-compilable 
statement.
Evaluate the use of the 
TERMINALINFO 
statement and modify 
the converted code or 
the SCREEN COBOL 
source program 
accordingly.
TRANSFORM statement 
involving transfer of data to 
or from a Message Section 
data item
Statements involving the Message 
Section are not supported. The 
converter generates an error and 
continues converting the rest of the 
program.  The converted Java code 
contains a non-compilable 
statement.
Either remove the non-
compilable statement 
from the converted 
code or remove the 
TRANSFORM 
statement from the 
SCREEN COBOL 
source program.
USE FOR SCREEN 
RECOVERY, 
USE FOR 
TERMINAL-ERRORS
These statements are not meaningful 
in a web environment. The 
converter generates a warning and 
continues converting the rest of the 
program.  The converted Java code 
contains the warning statement as a 
comment. The converted code will 
compile, but the effect of the USE 
statement is not provided by the 
converted code.
No corrective action 
needed.
