What does XFB.TransferPut: GIK error: MSG 00001/00016 mean?

Usually, when we see MSG XXX/YYY instead of a text message in an application using the GIKAPIC (or the GIKAPI), it means that the API cannot load the dictionary file. The reason we are seeing these message is that p_nltpath variable was not set in the context that called the API. In the Gateway profile, this parameter is normally set like this:
p_nltpath="$p_home_dir/nlt/english"; export p_nltpath

To decode this message, XXX = the message set id and YYY = the message id number. To resolve the message referenced in this question (XFB.TransferPut: GIK error: MSG 00001/00016), we can look at the dicitonary files and find:
