Doesn't your License Agreement prohibit such reverse engineering? From:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/zosbasics/com.ibm.zos.zproblem/bpx.htm
z/OS problem management
BPXMTEXT for z/OS UNIX reason codes
BPXMTEXT is shipped in SYS1.SBPXEXEC and must be in SYSEXEC or SYSPROC to use.
It can run from TSO, IPCS, or the z/OS UNIX Shell. In z/OS V1R8 and above, you
can use BPXMTEXT to interpret errnojr values from zFS (reason code
qualifier=EFxx) and TCP/IP (reason code qualifier=7xxx). In z/OS V1R9 and
above, you can interpret errnojr values from the C/C++ run-time library (reason
code qualifier=Cxxx).
Are those DDNAMEs allocated? (But do they survice the spawn()/exec() in
popen()?)

The example in:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.bpxb100/epct.htm
doesn't help much.
