OK, a few clues. bpxmtext is, as others have pointed out, a rexx exec. In at least some cases it turns around and calls another rexx exec, edcmtext. That, in turn winds up looking at this module: CEE.SCEERUN(EDCEJR). That, finally, contains message text. The rexx is (to me, a non-rexx programmer) somewhat inscrutable. Just groveling over a binary copy of CEE.SCEERUN(EDCEJR) suggests that it has some sort of index table at the front, followed by the actual message texts.
And that's all I have time for today (all of 5 minutes...). Maybe in a few more days I can dig deeper. Would an API have been SO hard?
