>I'm more interested in the relationship between the blocks
starting, obviously, at the PSA. I had a short document that told me
what blocks were tagged off of what other blocks to help in running the
chain. The data areas don't have this information, just what's in the
blocks once you find them.
There are hundreds of blocks, as you already know, since you have the
books.
Many years ago I saw a drawing of the interrelationships of many of
the
"most important" blocks in the control program, and it was close to
looking like
a bowl of spaghetti. Then there is the huge wall-size chart showing
all of
DB2's control block interrelationships. This same topic was discussed
here
within the last year, I think. Check the archives.
Landmark Systems built a control block displaying/navigating tool into
many
of their monitors and also had a dump analyzer as a separate product.
Check
with Allen Systems if you are willing to pay $$ for this, otherwise use
IPCS
in a labor-intensive mode. I have no connection with Landmark/ASG any
more.
