program ended with an error or not. This message means that the status
could not be reported.
Because this message normally involves a background job that controlled
the external program, this job was cancelled.
The following responses are possible:
Examine the log of the involved job. It may report the cause of the
error.
You can also examine the system log. It should also contain messages
regarding the cause of the error. In particular, look for messages
referring to CPI-C problems.
