Description

When Entry Point is re-started following an Online Request Outcome (e.g. to process the online response), Entry Point needs to activate the previously selected combination to process the online response (i.e. Chapter 3.3.3, Final Combination Selection). This specification bulletin clarifies Entry Point’s processing in Final Combination Selection for the situation where Entry Point sends the SELECT (AID) command with the ADF Name from the previously selected combination, but the card responds with a Status Word different from 9000.

Proposed Specification Change Book B Specification Change In Chapter 3.3.3, replace requirement 3.3.3.5 with the following: Requirements – Final Combination Selection 3.3.3.5 If the response to the SELECT (AID) command includes an SW1 SW2 other than '9000', then:
