This is correct. Look in that field for the string 'MSTR' This is what LLA, as of z/OS 1.9,looks at. If it is not started with SUB=MSTR, it terminates itself and then restarts itself having added SUB=MSTR to the start command. As Rob Scott correctly points out, the information you seek is in the private area of the address space you wish to interrogate.
