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.
