You've piqued my interest ... Which TCB chain? Where's its anchor and next chain pointer? Does this chain contain only dispatchable TCB? Currently I run the TCB chain starting from job step TCB and moving forward via the TCBTCB field (while the local lock is held). I check TCBPNDSP, TCBRBWF, and WEBPaused to determine if the TCB is waiting. If not then if TCBACTIV is on I assume it's active. As I've discovered TCBACTIV doesn't give an accurate picture of the TCB's state.
