I believe I'm understanding the logic... Whether the given
value is either a PO_BAD_VALUE (should be an integer and its not)
or a value that is out of range (the PO_FOUND cause), the given value 
is still "invalid"... 

PO_NOT_FOUND value is basically a parsing error and if its not recoverable as
with some cases, we should generate a message... 

So as long as we identify the above three cases and give a pointer to the
incorrect option, I think that will be fine...
