That's the same in mainframe environments too (hence the "Codes" part
of the "Messages and Codes" manual titles). In online documentation
(e.g., CMS "HELP") these values are usually exlained as well. For example,
"HELP COPY" produces (among the 992 lines of information) the following
tidbit. Commands for the VM hypervisor (CP) are even easier - the return
code is the same as the numeric portion of the message identifier.
Messages and Return Codes
To display information on a specific error message enter HELP MSG and the
message identifier, for example: HELP MSG DMS111E.
