If the called routines don't maintain the forward link in the save area, then starting from TCBFSA in the J/S TCB won't work. Also, I don't know of any good way to account for XPLINK. You might check whether Diagnosis addresses. Also check what IPCS macros are available.

If so, how would I navigate to it? (Or is there a callable routine that provides the information?) I tried to produce such a chain by following the savearea chain from the current program up the calling hierarchy, but at some point in the hierarchy I receive a spurious pointer to the next higher program's savearea. Thank you for any assistance or pointers (double entendre) you can provide.
