Transaction Results
The transaction result status response (RESULT) is the first value returned from the Payflow
SDK server. This value indicates the overall status of the transaction attempt. The response
message (RESPMSG) provides a brief description for decline or error results.
z A value of 0 (zero) indicates that no errors occurred and the transaction was approved.
z A value greater than zero indicates a decline or error. See Table C.1.
z A value less than zero indicates that a communication error occurred. In this case, no
transaction is attempted. See Table C.1.
