Thanks all! Very much appreciated. I opted for CHTRKID control block chasing, but also laid some foundation for using ERBSMFI for future endeavors. "INIT" and "BPXAS" did initially throw me for a loop, as did *MASTER* a little later, but I believe I've got it sorted.
Thanks again - you guys are awesome!
