Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getResponseText([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setResponseText([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Approval/Decline/Error text message information This property contains a response or display text message, and is used by the terminal to display the authorization result. This property will contain human-readable text indicating whether the transaction was approved or declined, or will contain a description of the error. The actual error code will be returned in the ResponseApprovalCode property. The ResponseText property is for informational use only, and should not be used in determining whether a transaction has been approved or not. Instead, use the ResponseCode property to determine this.

See the list of errors for this class for more information.

This property is read-only.
