I know I shouldn't feel bad about asking this question because it seems so elementary. Anyway, can someone please briefly point me in the right direction?
I have 3 basic questions that I would like to ask to help me fill some gaps in my knowledge. 1) How do I know what control blocks or memory for another address space can be seen from my address space? In other words, for example, I can loop through ASCB chain and find the ASCB of other address spaces and see some control blocks that belong to them. Sometimes, though, when I think that I'm looking at them I end up looking at myself. What did I do wrong? Or what did I understand wrong? Or perhaps more technically, where in the IBM docs does it tell me (or hint to me) that I might fall into this trap? 2) If I want to look at control blocks and memory and they are not in shared memory (is it shared memory? Is that the right term?), then what mechanism would I use to view that data? Just a hint to the docs would be great here. I haven't found what I'm looking for just yet. 3) This is a generic "how to catch a fish" question. Say I want a piece of information and I know it is available because I see it in JES listings or SDSF or something like that. Let's take job accounting information as an example. How do you know where to find that? (Ok, that one I know, I just used it as an example. It is in the OUCB.) The Data Areas docs are great, but the comments telling you what is what aren't so clear. Right now I just dig for a few hours and if I don't find it I ask on a list like this one. Is there a better way? Thanks very much kind people.
