Cause

The Y2E0028 on a model, when converting models using YAPYMDLCHG is typically caused by Z* files in the model library.  Normally there will be just one single Z file 'ZJOBLSTRFP' in the model library.

Resolution

You would need to delete ALL the Z files from the model library (see the model reference from the joblog), then rerun the YAPYMDLCHG command to resolve the error and convert your model.
