auxCode: numeric or string?

I'm seeing conflicting information about the "auxCode" returned with errors. Sometimes it seems numeric (e.g. "6001" for AVS mismatch), and sometimes it seems to be a string (e.g. "ccCardCode:stringLengthTooShort"). Am I even looking at the same thing or just confused?

    A guess: 412 errors result in string auxCodes, and all others result in numeric auxCodes?

    Aux Codes are used to provide more actionable detail on an error. They can be anything. Currently, aux codes are returned for 412 and for codes shown in the chart you referenced.

    412 errors result in string auxCodes. These are not documented directly. If format and required fields are enforced at the interface level, these errors can be eliminated.
