INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation
of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Canadian Class A Device Declaration

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits
for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in
the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits
radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux
appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le
Réglement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le

Information to User
This equipment must be installed and used in strict
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
However, there is no guarantee that interference to radio
communications will not occur in a particular
commercial installation. If this equipment does cause
interference, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to consult
an NCR service representative immediately.

The following are examples of primary return codes that can
be returned in M_DATA[0–1] fields:

Primary Return
Meaning
Code
000FH SESSION_FAILURE.
The session was taken down due to an error
condition. The specific reason is identified in
the secondary return code.
0014H UNSUCCESSFUL.
Cause: The verb did not complete
successfully.
Action: Check the specific error that is
indicated by the secondary return code.
0018H NEGATIVE_RESPONSE.
Cause: One of the following conditions
occurred:
1) The end-of-chain has arrived for a chain
that was responded to negatively by the
application program.
2) LUA detected an error in a message that
was received from the primary LU and sent a
negative response. This error will be returned
when the end-of-chain is received from the
primary LU. The secondary return code
contains the sense data that was sent with the
negative response.
Action: Check the secondary return code for
sense data to determine the specific cause of
the problem.
0021H CANCELLED.
Cause: This command was cancelled due to
the reasons specified in the secondary return
code.
F003H COMM_SUBSYSTEM_ABENDED.
Cause: PCOMM abnormally ended.

Primary Return
Meaning
Code
F004H COMM_SUBSYSTEM_NOT_
LOADED.
Cause: The communication subsystem was
not loaded.
Action: Configure PCOMM for LU0, load
PCOMM and then run your LU0 application.
F011H UNEXPECTED_DOS_ERROR.
If an unexpected DOS return code is
encountered after the communications
subsystem issues a DOS call, the verb is
posted with this primary return code. In
addition, the secondary return code contains
the unexpected DOS return code.

The following are some examples of secondary return codes

that can be returned in M_DATA[2–5] fields:

Secondary
Meaning
Return Code
00000001H INVALID_LUNAME.
Cause: the verb specified an invalid
lu_luname.
Action: Verify that the lu_luname matches
the configured lu_luname.
00000015H NOT_ACTIVE.
Cause: An application program issued an
LUA verb at a time that LUA was not active
within PCOMM.
Action: Verify the configuration file for
LUA. If the configuration file is correct,
verify that PCOMM was started with that
configuration file.
0000008DH INVALID_ADAPTER.
The DLC adapter configuration is incorrect
or the configuration file has been damaged.

M_DATA contains additional information on error reports as
follows:

M_DATA Meaning
01 No response received from receiving station
02 Negative acknowledge, no buffers available
03 Negative acknowledge, memory overrun
04 Collision retry limit reached
05 Lack of CRC error detected
06 No header or data buffer areas available

09 Did not receive returned Loop2 message
10 Cannot receive (tap disconnected?)
11 Collision detect signal error
12 Memory overrun or underrun
13 Loss of CTS signal from 82586
14 No loop data provided for transmission

The M_DATA returned for specific M_STATUS are as

follows:

M_STATUS = 33
The M_DATA (2 bytes) is the invalid value found in the
MCSTATUS field of the DPM header.

M_STATUS = 34
The M_DATA (4 bytes) is the LLC frame header of the frame
to be transmitted.

M_STATUS = 35
The M_DATA (2 bytes) is the invalid value found in the
IBSTATCD field of the DPM header.

M_STATUS = 42 or 43
The M_DATA (up to 11 bytes) is the LLC header and up to 7
bytes of the remainder of the frame.

M_STATUS

M_STATUS Meaning
10 Communications lost. Returned only in
CONNECTION LOST unsolicited reports.
See M_DATA for reason.
20 Communications restored. Returned only in
CONNECTION RESTORED unsolicited
reports. There is no M_DATA associated
with this M_STATUS
30 Transmit failure. Returned only in
maintenance reports. See M_DATA for
reason.
40 Receive failure. Returned only in
maintenance reports. See M_DATA for
reason.
50 Hardware failure. For example, cable
disconnected. Returned only in FATAL
ERROR unsolicited reports or maintenance
reports. See M_DATA for reason.

A full list of the server return codes, M_DATA{1–2}, and

their meaning can be found in the IBM Financial Branch
System Services publication.

M_DATA for M_STATUS = 10

In a CONNECTION LOST report, M_DATA[0] will contain
the session status from the SNA server. This byte is only
present if it can be obtained from the remote server via the
Token-Ring.

M_DATA[0] Meaning
‘O’ No session established for SDLC or Token-
Ring
‘P’ PU session established
‘L’ LU session established

M_DATA[0] Meaning
‘S’ SDT received. Connection is down due to it
being quiescent

M_DATA[0] = 10H
The cause of this error is the LAN connection or hardware.
M_DATA[1–2] will contain the LAN return codes in a byte
reversed format. For example, ‘L1’ is returned with ‘1’ in
M_DATA[1] and ‘L’ in M_DATA[2].

Code Meaning
‘L1’ Resource not defined in workstation
‘L2’ There is no session with the remote server
‘L3’ Session not defined
‘L5’ Server not loaded
‘L8’ There is no response from the server
‘U1’ Connection is pending with host

M_DATA[0] = 20H
The cause of this error is that the SNA server has returned an
intervention required code. M_DATA[1–2] will contain the
LAN return codes in a byte reversed format.

Code Meaning
‘I1’ No session established
‘I2’ The hardware at the server is powered off, or
the communications adaptor or cabling are
faulty
‘P3’ Server I/O buffer are full during an OPEN
command
‘PB’ Station set into quiescent state during OPEN
‘U1’ Contact is pending with the host
‘U4’ Bad status from the SDLC adaptor
‘U8’ SDLC software is not loaded

M_DATA for M_STATUS = 30

The cause of this error is transmit failure.

M_DATA[0] = 20H
The cause of this error is the SNA server responding with a
non-zero return code to a Send Host (SH) command, from the
SNA server. M_DATA[1–2] will contain the LAN return
codes in a byte reversed format.

Code Meaning
‘P3’ Server input/output buffers are full during an
(L)SEND command
‘P4’ Previously received message still requires a
response
‘P7’ SNA protocol error during (L)SEND
‘PA’ Host message or response is pending, ready
for receipt
‘PB’ Station set into quiescent state during
(L)SEND

M_DATA[0] = 30H
The cause of this error is internal to FBSS PassThrough.
M_DATA[1] will be 0H, indicating an SNA -RSP was
received in exception response mode.

M_DATA for M_STATUS = 50

The cause of this error is the LAN connection or hardware.

M_DATA[0] = 10H
M_DATA[1–2] will contain the LAN return codes in a byte
reversed format

Code Meaning
‘L1’ Resource not defined in workstation
‘L3’ Session not defined
‘L4’ Unrecoverable error from a remote
workstation
‘L5’ Server not loaded
‘L6’ Unrecoverable error from a local workstation
‘L7’ LAN adaptor card is not installed
‘L8’ No response from server
‘L9’ LAN hardware failure
