Error Messages (ER)

This section of the Nlets User Guide presents pertinent information about error messages. If Nlets detects any condition that prevents delivery of an input message to the destination, an error message will be sent to the originating station explaining the condition.

Note: The Nlets system (ORI NL0000000) is the only originator of ER messages. Neither state computer systems nor terminals may generate ER messages.
