The error messages would be written in the log file if there is an error occurred in the conversion. And you can read the log file to capture the all messages.

All the messages are written into DataStage runtime files. You should be able to view all log entries in DS Director. Look at DS help for the functions DSGetLogEntry and DSGetNewestLogId and you would get an idea how to capture these log entries.

Director includes a "print to file" capability. Select the required events from Log view then choose Print from the Project menu. Check the "print to file" check box and you will get a common file dialog.
