Hello Bruce,

The errno values are documented in the errno.h include file and in the 
documentation for the APIs which generate them (See the Unix-like API 
manual).

However, since this is an AS/400 we are dealing with, and for the most 
part they exhibit good design, someone has had the foresight to create 
real message descriptions for the errno codes.  The messages are in 
QCFPMSG.  Simply prefix the errno with CPE and display the message.  For 
example:
        DSPMSGD CPE4389

Since these messages originate from Unix platforms they usually cover a 
multitude of sins and generally don't have very helpful second level text.  
It is nearly always necessary to infer the real problem from the errno by 
trnaslating mentally from Unix terms to AS/400 terms.  Sometimes you will 
be lucky and see an AS/400 error message in the job log prior to the 
errno.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
