See the three *must* have manuals :

        Assembler Services Guide
        Authorized Assembler Services Guide
        Extended Addressability Guide

And couple them with the Data Areas books.

Have a read and then the best way to learn (IMHO) is to start writing
some simple multi-tasking programs (ATTACH,DETACH and WAIT are your
friends). 

After you have been through the write/dump/debug loop a few times things
begin to make sense (just).

Subject: control block overview

IBM offers a (hopefully pretty slick) class called z/OS System Services
Structure.  At this point, I don't have much hope in attending.  One of
the goals of the class is:

Explain the z/OS BCP functions and control blocks necessary to support a
task in a multi-tasking and multi-processing environment 

Where can I find this in a book or online?  I have a decent library, and
I've not been able to locate much on TCBs, SRBs, and the other Bs.

Thanks,
Aaron
