Had similar problems with cybercash a few years ago.
What was happening is this:
Intermittently, we would not get a response from the cybercash tag
a retry would get a response that the record had already been posted to
cybercash
With that version of the tag you did not get the response detail of
the posted
item & hat to go into the cash register mgmt program (via cfhttp) to retrieve
the response detail.
The problem originated at cybercash or the network... not returning a
response code.
