I have a quick question about how JFCBX control blocks are chained together. If a dataset has more than 5 volume serial numbers, the JFCBEXAD field in the JFCB gives the SVA of the first JFCBX control block which contains overflow volume serial number information.

However the definition of the JFCBX, to me at least, seems ambigous as to how I find the next JFCBX. There seem to be two fields, JFCBXTTR, which contains the SVA of the next extension block, and JFCBXNXT which contains the address of the next JFCB extension. Do these amount to the same thing? Which should I use?

Many thanks.
