Rob,
That makes complete sense, I stand corrected.  Like I said it was a wild
guess, and I am always looking to learn.
Thanks,

One of the most easy to see SCOPE=STEP enqueues to see is the SPFUSER
one - I can see this for all of our TSO users reasonably quickly using
GQSCAN - and most of these guys are swapped out.

GQSCAN invokes a space-switch PC routine executing in the GRS address
space - I would put my money on the fact that SCOPE=STEP enqueues are
maintained in structures and queues in the GRS address space just like
other SCOPEs - I would be amazed if GQSCAN caused GRS to shot SRBs into
foreign address spaces to trawl thru LSQA.

Rob,
It does, but it also is an extremely SLOOOOWWW process, which makes me
wonder if it is done via a local SRB scheduled in the target address
space, vs a PC call to the GRS space.

Wayne,

GQSCAN returns SCOPE=STEP enqueues for address spaces other than the
ASID of the issuer - doesn't that indicate that these structures exist
in GRS somewhere?

John,
My guess (and this is just a guess, as I don't have access to the GRS
source), is that SCOPE=STEP ENQ's don't get pushed to the GRS address
space, instead the control structures are cached in LSQA of the
requestor.  ISGFAM00 probably only looks at structures in the GRS
address space, IPCS however, has access to the LSQA of the dumped
address space, and can therefore see the resources.
Again, all a wild guess, take it for what it is worth...

Scott,
Thnk you for the explanation. Indeed - I'm not happy of such surprise.
However I have on more question:
Can I see scope=STEP enq's using D GRS,RES=(q,r) command ?
My experiments say I cannot.

Or, more general: is there any method to dsiplay STEP enqueues ?
-- snip--

That suprises me.

GRSDATA via IPCS in an SVCDUMP definetly shows you the STEP ENQs.

(from the IPCS manual)

Resources are presented in the following order:

1.  ASID(X'xxxx') (STEP) resources (ordered by ASID)

2.  Local (SYSTEM) resources

3.  Global (SYSTEMS) resources


This is consistent with the order used by verb exit QCBTRACE in prior
releases and with the order used by the GRSDATA subcommand in the
current release when GRS control blocks are used instead of the data
collected with the SDATA=GRSQ option of SDUMP.

I think Shane just chose his.
