Description :

The 16-bit value of a STATUS error code consists of the following fields:

1 bit: Flag bit - status message has been displayed
1 bit: Flag bit - status message came from a remote machine (i.e., a server)
6 bits: "Package" code or partial package code
8 bits: Status value or partial package code plus status value

This mask is used to obtain the 6 bit package or subsystem code from a STATUS value. This mask is useful only with package codes that use the designated 6 bits of the status code. Newer package codes may use more than 6 bits (leaving fewer than 8 bits for the status value).
