Auth Response Code

This field contains a two-character response code, indicating the status of the authorization request. A response code of 00 represents an approval. A response code of 85 represents a successful card verification returned normally by transaction codes 58, 68, and 88. All other response codes represent non-approved requests. Do not interpret all non-approved response codes as Declined.
