EXPORT-MSG
The XDIR Server

RETN-CODE-DETAIL
is an error number that can be returned as a further qualification of an error; it is
ignored.
PDU-ID (in RSP)
is the ID of the message's PDU store entry to be given to the MTA for transport.
This is normally the same value as that of the PDU-ID field of the UOW. It can be
set to zeros to indicate that the same value should be used.
If the XDIR server has made a modified copy of the original message, the copy's
PDU ID can be returned in this field.
EXPORT-MSG Operation
The EXPORT-MSG UOW tells the XDIR server of a message that the Exporter has
translated into the X.400 system's PDU store. The entry has been completed but not
submitted for transport yet.
You can program the XDIR server to examine or modify the PDU entry. This takes
significant work and is not recommended unless absolutely necessary. The PTS
encoding and decoding routines for the PDUs should be used to modify any PDU
entry.
A return code of 0 or a negative value indicates a successful processing.
A return code of a positive value indicates that processing failed. If the name
translation fails, the Exporter takes one of these actions
An error code of 5300 indicates that the originator should be sent a status package
indicating that export was rejected.
Any other positive error code, such as 4990, indicates that this might be an
intermittent problem, so the export is retried. After three retries, a status package
is sent to the originator.
