There is also ERR.PUBXL.TELESUP.  It wants an error number that is fed as
PARM= and optionally a message set that is an entry point.  If only the
error number is supplied, it will return every message with that number for
every set.  Unfortunately, it is a bit dated so it may not recognize every
subsystem.  You can read about it in DOC.TELESUP.
 
We have the following UDC:
 
ERR ERROR_NUM=? MESSAGE_SET=ALL
IF ERROR_NUM = "?" THEN
    ECHO
    ECHO Syntax: ERR, ERROR_NUM, [MESSAGE_SET]
    ECHO
    ECHO The following message sets are available:
    ECHO
    ECHO     ACTIVATE
    ECHO     ALL
    ECHO     ASOCTBL5
    ECHO     CI
    ECHO     CIGEN
    ECHO     CIPER
    ECHO     CREATE
    ECHO     DISCFREE
    ECHO     DS
    ECHO     ERR
    ECHO     FILE
    ECHO     GRAPHIC
    ECHO     HELP
    ECHO     INT
    ECHO     JOBSESSION
    ECHO     LASER
    ECHO     LOADER
    ECHO     LOCKRIN
    ECHO     MISC
    ECHO     MYCOMMAND
    ECHO     NMLOADER
    ECHO     PROG
    ECHO     PV
    ECHO     REPLYINFO
    ECHO     RUN
    ECHO     SCANPARSE
    ECHO     SERIAL
    ECHO     SHUTDOWN
    ECHO     SINTERNL
    ECHO     STORE
    ECHO     SUSPEND
    ECHO     SYSMAIN
    ECHO     SYSTEM
    ECHO     USR2680
    ECHO     USRLOG
ELSE
    RUN ERR.PUB.LIBRARY,!MESSAGE_SET;PARM=!ERROR_NUM
ENDIF
