I can't make such an assumption. It's a generic error handler.

What amazes me is that the API designer had the foresight to recognize that
we'd need to know the actual lib used for the message file, yet didn't think
we'd need to know the same for the sending/receiving program.

Moreover, the information is available when displaying message details in
the job log. Just like this:

>From program . . . . . :  QMHxxxxx
   From library . . . . . :  QSYS
   Instruction  . . . . . . :  0200

So someone at IBM recognized that we'd need to know.

And yet, the API does give us the sending pgm's statement number in
RCVM0300.... umm... isn't the statement number rather useless unless we can
relate it to the correct program object....
