You have two options - let the system manage resolv.conf or do it yourself.
From /etc/resolv.conf:

I have never modified /etc/resolv.conf except with "yast {lan,network}" yet I consistently receive the error msg.

Same here. AFAIR I have seen that error for years. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Ah, sorry, I missed that. Btw, I see the same on a laptop here, but with NetworkManager. I wonder if it is some sort of clash between NetworkManager and dns-resolver.

I'm not sure how it is done.

fwiw, it appears yast fails to edit /etc/sysconfig/network/config and maybe that is causing the failure message.

Please let me know what you find. I executed the netconfig update command and the only difference between the existing and new resolve.conf files was the elimination of the comment # hsd1.az.comcast.net is my domain name assigned by Comcast.

Typically, networkmanager writes that file dynamically from its own configuration, or from the information obtained from the router via dhcp. Most often it would be the configuration reccomended by your ISP. As the user can select several network configurations on a click, it makes sense to change the file automatically. The idea is also that if you edit that file manually because you want a different configuration, then it leaves the file alone and writes a message to the log. Also there is a token line in the file to flag to NM that "yes, I know what I did, do not tell me about it", but does not work. Sometimes, apparently, it thinks the file was modified by a human when it was not. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
