The following paragraphs describe fields that contain error codes.
PW-REPLY-CODE Errors
A value of zero in the PW-REPLY-CODE field of the IPC header indicates that all
UOWs in the request were processed successfully.
A value other than zero denotes an error.
Caution A value of 2 or greater in the PW-REPLY-CODE field requires a transaction abort and full transaction
backout by TMF.
IPC-RETN-CODE Errors
A value of zero in the IPC-RETN-CODE field of the IPC header indicates that
Queue Manager detected no errors in the header. Warning indications or errors,
however, might have been detected in individual UOWs.
A value other than 2 in this field denotes an error in the header, in a file access
operation, or in some other area that is not specific to any particular UOW in the
request.
IPC-RETN-CODE-DETAIL Errors
A value other than zero in the IPC-RETN-CODE-DETAIL field of the IPC header
indicates that although the data in the IPC header was correct, an error was detected
by the GUARDIAN 90 operating system. The meaning of this error also depends upon
the content of the IPC-RETN-CODE field. For information about these particular
errors, refer to the GUARDIAN 90 Operating System Programmer's Guide.
RETN-CODE Errors
A value of 0 in the RETN-CODE field of the UOW header indicates that no errors
occurred during the processing of the particular UOW.
Other values in this field mean one of the following:
An error code — A positive value denotes that the UOW could not be processed
because of an error. Error codes begin with an E.
A warning code — A negative value in the field denotes that the UOW contained
an anomaly, but the UOW was processed successfully despite the anomaly.
Warning codes begin with a W.
