TCBJSTCB DS    0A -    ADDRESS OF FIRST JOB STEP TCB
*                      OR OF THIS TCB IF KEY ZERO

This comment was apparently updated in SP5.1.0 to remove the parenthetical
expression "(OS/VS2)" which I'm guessing was correct (i.e, within OS/VS2,
it was the case that this field contained the address of this TCB if key
zero; that was before my time).

It should have been updated to remove the entire "OR" phrase.

We'll do that in a future release. While we're at it, we'll remove the word
"first". It is the address of the jobstep TCB for *this* TCB. It is not the
address of the first jobstep TCB in the address space (unless this task is
the RCT), or necessarily the first jobstep TCB of the initiated/started
job.
