The text block contains additional information that is specific to the input command. No parameter grouping is allowed in output. No null defaults unless specified in response syntax description.

The end of output is a single character. A semicolon (;) is used for normal end of output. The continuation symbol, a “greater-than” sign (>), is used on a message to indicate that another associated output message follows. When the continuation symbol is used, the associated output messages must have the same CTAG and the last associated message must have a semicolon.

Example: Standard Error Response Format

The following error message format will be used whenever the NE is unable to execute a TL1 command.

1.ERRCDE — Error code.

2.Comment — Optional free form text that provides more information about the error.

<

1.Acknowledgment code values:

•IP — In progress

•PF — Printout follows
