I will checkout the Migration Assistant BIN file, but so far, the BCNFMDS table entries seem to have the most complete English descriptions. And since I now have working code to read those entries, I have a potential solution.
My follow-on to Kurt was to ask him if that is an adequate source that is updated continually.

I hadn't thought of the migration assistant... but I remember Bob mentioning it now and didn't put 2 and 2 together with the ISPF table. So Bob, If you don't want to play with ISPF tables, I think you can parse the output of a migration assistant "products applied" report fairly easy since there just a single line for each FMID and description and match that to the REPORT ERRORSYSMODS FMID.
