This might be a very simple question but I can't find any reference to
it on the net.
Working in C, how do you get the RMS$_CODE symbol for any given error
number as returned from any operation? I use strerror() to get an interpretation but it does not include said symbol.
exit(rms_return_number); will print it out so I know it must be possible.

Can you explain what was missing in the previous answers you received
so the authors of those answers can clarify them if needed ?

I _think_ what he wants is some kind of translation table between errno values and VMS condition codes. For example, starting with errno of
ESRCH and getting to RMS$_RNF or vice versa. I'm not aware of any such table, and if there were, it wouldn't be a one-to-one mapping.

I think he was referring to your thread "Error Number to Symbol" which
had a few replies

yes if I get a return status of 98994 I would like to be able to look it
up and get "RMS$_RNF" to output that in my error handling routine.

No, I guessed wrong. You are not dealing with errno at all but rather
VMS condition code to message lookup, which, as you've now discovered,
has already been fully answered.

I was starting to think that it was about translating from
numeric value to symbolic name, which is a weird one.

98962 = RMS$_FNF

This is exactly what I intended with the original post, so this pas
source is very interesting to me.

It is just two lib$sys_getmsg calls with flags to get
facility and identity and then it is cross fingers and
hope the symbolic name follow convention of facility$_identity.

Yes I see, I would have never known about the effect of the flag field
and would have plowed ahead and broken down the default message with
strtok to get what I wanted. This is far more efficient. It will
certainly work for all the RMS return codes so that's mainly what I need.

What reader are you using? There are several credible answers to the
thread
you started whose subject is "Error Number to Symbol"
