ASCBXTCB changes as an address space starts and terminates, as well as (for an initiator) when a job starts and terminates. Thus it would not be the case that that task exists for the life of the address space. It exists unchanged while the jobstep program task (and any subtasks) exist.
Note that not every address space has an RCT task (ASCBRCTP), specifically ASID 1 does not. Further, ASCBRCTP is not a programming interface. If you truly need storage to persist for the life of the address space, then you should probably get the storage in a subpool that is not task-owned. Subpool 255 is one such subpool, although it does have the drawback of being page-fixed which you might not need.
