A small amount of ownership info is kept in the control block that describes 
the name/token entry - for example it contains the ASID and TCB. However, I 
would *love* to see the following information added :

        JOBNAME of creator
        STOKEN of creator
        STCK of creation

The usefullness of seeing the tokens is proportional to your knowledge of what 
either/both the "name" and "token" refer to. I find that displaying the 
name/tokens help during interactive debug sessions of my own code as I use them 
to anchor each task and its associated end-of-task exit routine.

I have always been one to poke around in the system. You find out how stuff 
works; every bit of knowledge is useful.

But in this case, I am not sure what I would learn by knowing the name/tokens.  
How would I use the information?  More interesting to me might be who created 
what name/tokens (even then, the benefit of knowing it is hazy).  Is ownership 
kept in the control blocks?
