bperror -l output, what do the columns mean? How consistant is the output from release to release?

Regarding the output from bperror -l, I am wondering what columns mean and what the possible values are. Playing around with bperror -l and bperror -L, I notice that the fourth column is the severity and an Error is severity 16, Info is severity 4, what are the other severity values?
Has the output format for bperror -l changed from say release 5 to release 7?
I am looking for similar information that the documention for the output of bpdbjobs.
I am developing a smartphone application to access NetBackup from a handheld, this information would be very helpful!
Thanks.

    From NetBackup 7 specification:
    "-columns ncols
    For the -L and -U reports, -columns provides an approximate upper bound
    on the maximum line length. bperror does not try to produce lines exactly
    ncols characters in length.
    -columns does not apply to the -l report.
    ncols must be at least 40. The default is 80."

    Other fields, please, refer to the "Symantec NetBackup™ Commands" guide

    No.
