Messages issued by ASN-1Step can be divided into six categories:
We stand with Ukraine 
S0001S: An internal memory error occurred.
This message is issued when unexpected memory error occurred. Contact OSS support to report this error.
S0002E: Invalid PDU identifier: 'pdu_id'. Use the -listPduId option to display the list of valid PDU identifiers.
This message is issued when the -decodePdu argument does not correspond to any PDU available for decoding. Specify the -listPduId option to obtain a list of PDU identifiers and names available for decoding.
S0003E: Error opening input file 'filename'. error description.
This message is issued when ASN-1Step encounters an error when opening an input file.
S0004E: Error reading from file 'filename'. error description.

S0040I: CDR record header detected, skipping 'num' bytes: .
A CDR record header consisting of 4 or 5 bytes was detected and skipped before decoding the BER-based encoded message. To suppress automatic detection of CDR headers, use the -noCDRHeadersDetection option.
S0041W: Although it was detected, the CDR file header was ignored because the value that was specifed with the -offset option (num1) is different from the value that was detected (num2).
ASN-1Step detected and ignored the CDR file header because the value specified with the -offset option is different from the value that was detected.
S0042W: Although it was detected, the CDR record header was ignored because the value that was specified with the -recordOffset option (num1) is different from the value that was detected (num2).
ASN-1Step detected and ignored the CDR record header because the value specified with the -recordOffset option is different from the value that was detected.
S0043W: Unsupported value 'num1' found in the 'Data record format' field of the CDR record header, skipping num2 bytes: <skipped_bytes>.
ASN-1Step failed to determine the encoding rules that should be used to decode the CDR record because the values of the Data Record Format field of the CDR record header do not correspond to any of the following supported encoding rules: BER, Aligned or Unaligned PER, or XER. The record is skipped.
S0044W: No CDR headers detected in the file 'fileName', attempting decoding using BER...
ASN-1Step failed to determine the CDR headers in the .cdr input file. An attempt is made to decode the file using the Basic Encoding Rules.

IA078E: The CSV format or header format is not correct: 'error string'.
The input CSV header or value record structure contains an error. The input format might not correspond to the specified PDU type structure. 'error string' shows the place in the input buffer where the error occurred.
IA079E: An incorrect name is found inside the CSV header: 'error string'.
The CSV header contains a name that does not conform to the PDU type structure. 'error string' shows the place in the input buffer where the error occurred.
IA080E: The column separator does not match the specified or the determined one: 'error string'.
A character specified where the column separator is expected is different from the previously detected separator. 'error string' shows the place in the input buffer where the error occurred.
