The EFT Error File
The IPC file whose format is discussed here is used to describe the
identity of one or more MPE files that the EFT interface program has been
unable to bring into HP Desk. There is only one IPC Error file for EFT
per system and it will be pre-built by HP Desk.
The format of the EFT Error file is the same as the FSC Error File.
Refer to Chapter 13 for an example of an Error file. With both EFT
and FSC, a file containing a message too big for the current capacity of
the database will cause an entry in the appropriate error file. With
EFT, an entry will also be caused if a message is addressed to a mailnode
unknown to the receiving HP Desk computer.
The characteristics of the error files are the same as those given by the
MPE command:
BUILD ERRIPCIN.MAILDB.HPOFFICE;REC=-80,,F,ASCII;MSG
The fields in each record of the Error file are:
