The values for the replacements (&1 etc) are in the exception-data field
of the error code structure (starting at offset 16, I think).  You can
get the readable message using QMHRTVM passing the message id and the
replacement text.

While developing code that's calling an API, I think it's better to set
the bytes-provided field (AEBYTPRV) to zero.  That way, you get the
error messages in the joblog where they're much easier to interpret (and
much harder to ignore).  Once you get it working, you can set the
bytes-provided to a non-zero value, although leaving it permanently at
zero means you will always be able to debug failures more easily.
