I believe it. I misspoke on the data areas not having most of the
information needed to run the chain. I just had a document that had it
laid out for me a fashion a bit easier to work with than running through
the data areas manuals. It's my own fault for having next to no
organizational abilities. Still hoping to find it somewhere on my PC
here although years of clutter is making it hard to find <g>

I remember somebody, humorously, saying that to do a graphic layout of
the z/OS control blocks would take something like a piece of paper the
size of a football (US football, not rest-of-the-world football) field,
printer in 4 point lettering.
