Return Codes
A Return Code is included in every record returned to the user when a call is made to the functions of the ePostcode web service (except ServiceTest). These Return Codes can be used to get information about any errors or data input problems that may have occurred. N.B. The web service functions will always return at least one record. If the Return Code is not "1" in the first record then there is a problem. The table below lists these Return Codes:
