Error Number to Symbol

This might be a typical newbie question but I can't find any reference to it on the net.
Working in C, how do you return 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.
