Recommended Status Codes usage for Inbound & Outbound IDocs

Question

Hi,
    Can someone tell what status codes do we use when we go for a Custom Posting Program or Selection Program?
I assume we use 51 for Posting Program (not 56) and
26 for a Z-Selection Program (Not 37 or any other Code).
   Please let me know what is recommended and which status codes most of the people use while Custom Development.
Thanks and Regards,
Venkat.
