That is true for some messages. It is not true for all.

Dynamic exits services produces message CSV430I.
CSV430I   MODULE modname FOR EXIT exitname HAS BEEN MADE INACTIVE DUE TO
          ABEND=compcode REASON=rsn

where compcode is documented as:
compcode 
The abend completion code. It is in the hexadecimal form sssuuu, where sss 
is the system completion code, and uuu is the user completion code. 

For this particular message, the cost of converting a 6-digit hexadecimal 
value to Sxxx or Udddd was not felt (by me) to be worth the cost because 
the alternate form is fully understandable.

Regardless, if IEC615I had had the same explanation that CSV430I has, 
perhaps the OP's initial question would not need to have been posted.

I don't know why IEC615I even exists (they didn't ask me), but it ought to 
provide the same explanation for the completion code if it is displaying 
the 6 digits of the completion code (and, I hope, it is displaying a 
reason code only when a reason code exists, not just using the value in 
reg 15).
