They never have been, even in the S/38 days.
Third party products are easy, since they typically store their message
files in their own libraries, not in the IBM libraries. The vendors should
be able to point you in the right direction.
What are you trying to accomplish?

Subject: What is the easiet way to determine message file library and filein
order to WRKMSGD for a specific message
When finding a message id in QSYSOPR, QHST, or joblog,
What is the easiest way to find the library/message file that contains the
specific message id?
The message file library and message file name are not stored anywhere in
the message.
I constantly find myself manually searching all libraries and message files,
to find the desired message.
3rd party products are the worst.
