NonStop FTAM Initiator Diagnostic 
Messages
The NonStop FTAM initiator diagnostic messages are returned on indication and 
confirm procedures when the NonStop FTAM initiator detects a problem either locally 
or on the remote responder. Because there are so few of these messages, they are not 
grouped in the same way that the ISO FTAM diagnostic messages in the previous 
appendix are grouped. All the NonStop FTAM initiator diagnostic messages are listed 
in numerical order in one table and are followed by detailed explanations of each 
message, also arranged in numerical order by the value of the diagnostic message.
For the structures related to diagnostic messages, see ZFTM-DDL-DIAG-ELEM on 
page A-27, ZFTM-DDL-DIAGNOSTIC on page A-28, and ZFTM-DDL-ENTITY-REF on 
page A-28.
Table D-1 lists the diagnostic messages generated by the NonStop FTAM initiator. All 
but message 5037 are returned by the FTM_P_ABORT_IND_ procedure and are 
permanent or transient diagnostics. The only informative message is 5037, returned on 
open confirm procedures.

Cause. An internal software error has occurred in the initiator. The initiator can return 
this diagnostic for a number of reasons. One, for example, is if it encounters problems 
related to the value of the maximum-string-length parameter or the incoming-
PDU size.
Effect. The initiator aborts the association.
Recovery. If the Further Details field of this diagnostic contains the message 
smaller PDU or larger MSL needed, the size of the encoded data received from
