069139, Update 1 to 40969 Tandem Computers Incorporated 3–1
Overview This section describes the types of error codes that your process can receive from the
TRANSFER delivery system.
Error Code Fields Error codes can be returned to a TRANSFER application process in the interprocess
communication (IPC) header, in the UOW header, and in responses to certain UOWs.
This section lists and explains all error codes that can be returned to a TRANSFER
application process.
Table 3-1 lists error code fields and the locations of the error code fields.

The following paragraphs describe fields that contain error codes.
PW-REPLY-CODE Errors A value of 0 in the PW-REPLY-CODE field of the IPC header indicates that all UOWs
in the request were processed successfully. A value other than 0 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. Otherwise data integrity cannot be guaranteed.
IPC-RETN-CODE Errors A value of 0 in the IPC-RETN-CODE field of the IPC header indicates that the
TRANSFER delivery system 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.
