The documentation (Natural for Windows 9.3.1 → Operations → Natural Exit Codes) states the error code is an invalid code page.

The code page (CP) setting in my configuration file is blank.

Thanks Ralph, Mine was blank too. Others in the tam was blank and it worked. SAG got back to us and mentioned it must be blank and if it does not work enter ISO-8859-1 for CP and I did just that and it did work. Maybe they should put that as an option to select on the drop down list for CO.
