Operational Error Codes

3 RQST-ERR
Field. PW-REPLY-CODE
Meaning. A request error occurred. This type of error indicates that something was
wrong in the data in the IPC header and that the error probably does not apply to any
particular UOW. In certain cases, however, it might involve an individual UOW; for
example, one with an invalid UOW header. When this error occurs, the number of
response UOWs might be less than the number of UOWs in the request. For further
information, your application should examine the IPC-RETN-CODE field.
Caution If your application receives a value of 3 in the PW-REPLY-CODE field, full transaction backout with TMF
is recommended. If the transaction is not backed out, consistency in the Queue file cannot be
guaranteed.
3 SERVICE-DENIED
Field. IPC-RETN-CODE
Meaning. Reserved for future use by Tandem.
4 INVALID-UOW-HDR
Field. IPC-RETN-CODE
Meaning. Your request contained an invalid UOW header. This error occurs when the
previous UOW header specified the wrong size, when you omitted the characters UW
from the UOW header, or when the UOW code in the UOW header is undefined for
the server class.
5 RQST-TOO-LONG
Field. IPC-RETN-CODE
Meaning. The request was too long to be handled. (The startup parameter
MAXREQUEST specifies the size of the largest request that can be processed.)
