AMBER: antechamber/mopac question

('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Dear Amber Community,

When I run antechamber with a molecule to find the charges of the atoms,
there is a comment in the mopac output file (FOR012) that I was wondering
about.
I run antechamber as follows:
antechamber -i file.pdb -fi pdb -o file.prepin -fo prepi -c bcc -s 2

In the FOR012 file the comment that concerns me is as follows:
"GRADIENT TEST NOT PASSED, BUT FURTHER WORK NOT JUSTIFIED
SCF FIELD WAS ACHIEVED."

Does this mean the values for the charges are not valid or they still ok?
Thanks,

Armin

Here I will include the whole header of the FOR012 file for completeness:
