Lindy,
Scheduling an SRB requires update access to an APF authorized dataset, since
SCHEDULE requires SUP state and KEY 0 while IEAMSCHD requires KEY 0 or SUP
state.  In addition, there are serialization concerns, because unless you
hold the local lock, you can't guarantee that all these control blocks will
remain static.  Actions like this done incorrectly can cause painful
consequences.
If you have a sandbox LPAR (or better yet, a sandbox z/VM guest) you might
be able to dig through it, but be prepared to know the IPL procedure.

Don't I simply schedule an SRB to run in that address space, map out all
the tasks, subtasks and memory allocated by each one, and then just read
it?

Or did I miss something... again.

I managed to snoop the LDA in other address spaces quite easily since it
is in sp 255.

Snooping memory in your own address space isn't challenging; snooping
memory in a different address space is impossible unless you are allowed
to update system data sets, and has its challenges even then.
