Operation The Explicit Communications Error Flag is used to determine if communica-
tions ended normally or in error.
For error completions (i.e., when the flag is ON), the Communications Port
Error Flag for FINS commands is used to determine if the explicit message
was never sent (i.e., when the flag is ON) or if there was an error in the explicit
message that was sent (i.e., when the flag is OFF).
The Communications Port Completion Code will contain 0000 hex after a nor-
mal end, an explicit message error code after an explicit communications
error end, and a FINS message completion code after a FINS error end.
1) Normal End An explicit message is sent and a normal response is returned.
The corresponding Explicit Communications Error Flag (A213.00 to A213.07:
Communications port No. 0 to 7) will be OFF and the Communications Port
Completion Code (A203 to A210: Communications port No. 0 to 7) will contain
the explicit message normal response code of 0000 hex.
