Incrementing POSSequenceNbr

The SequenceNumber of the POSSequenceNbr must be incremented on each transaction. After the value reaches "999", it should be reset to "001" on the next transaction. The rules for incrementing the values are:

Incrementing POSSequence Nbr	Rules
Approval	Increment the value.
Timeout/No Response	Send a timeout reversal, then increment the value.
Host Out of Sync	If the value in the POS and on the Host gets out of sync, then the host will return a decline message with Bank Response Code = 899, along with a value in TraceNumber; that value must be sent in PosSequenceNbr of the next request from the POS.
Response Received without BankResponseCode	This scenario is treated as "Transaction Not Completed." Do not increment the value.
Response Received with BankResponseCode = 898	Do not increment the value.
After Successful MACKey Exchange	Increment the value.
