Subject: Re: JES2 - get system name without JCT addressability.

$CBIO doesn't work? It has an input parameter of MTTR with it says is a SPOOL 
TTR. ref: http://publibfp.dhe.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/has2q000.pdf
<quote>
MTTR= Specifies the label of, or a register that contains, the spool track 
address of the record to be read or written. If you specify a register, the 
spool MTTR (module track record) must be loaded into the designated register 
before executing this macro instruction. MTTR is required for TYPE=READ or 
TYPE=WRITE, but is not allowed with TYPE=WAIT.
