E-ERR-PROFILE-FILE (4902) through E-ERR-INV-FOLDER-FILE (4922)
indicate that an unexpected GUARDIAN 90 file error occurred on one of the
TRANSFER database files. IPC-RETN-CODE-DETAIL contains the actual
GUARDIAN 90 file error code. If you receive one of these errors and the
request was issued under a TMF transaction, you must abort the TMF
transaction.
E-ERR-QUEUE-FILE (4924)
indicates an error occurred on the queue file. IPC-RETN-CODE-DETAIL
contains the file code of the file on which the error occurred. If you receive
this error and the request was issued under a TMF transaction, you must abort
the TMF transaction; you should then retry the request under a new
transaction.
E-IO-TIMEOUT (4990)
indicates that a timeout occurred on an I/O to the TRANSFER database. A
timeout usually indicates a deadlock with another process. IPC-RETN-CODE-
DETAIL contains the file code of the TRANSFER file on which the error
occurred. If you receive this error and the request was issued under a TMF
transaction, you must abort the TMF transaction; you should then retry the
request under a new transaction.
E-TEXT-SERVICE (5800)
indicates that the TRANSFER text facility failed to establish the language and
character-map information required by the IPC.

(This field is ignored in a request to the TRANSFER delivery system.)
SESSION-ID
identifies the session of the correspondent on whose behalf the request has been
issued. When you request session initiation, set this field to binary zeros. The
TRANSFER delivery system assigns a session ID and returns the value. Move this
session ID into SESSION-ID for each subsequent request.
UOWS-TO-PROCESS
indicates the number of UOWs transmitted with the request. In a reply, the
TRANSFER delivery system echoes the value in your request.
