WTG tables are characteristic of O/C/EOV; most type 4 SVC  routines didn't have 
one.

If memory serves me right, the roots of Xpediter-type software are in a shop 
that wrote a module that had been inserted into SVC51's (SDUMP) control flow.

In those days a large SVC routine was comprised of several pieces, each having 
a WTG (Where-To-Go) table at the end, comprised of several entries, with each 
entry containing the name and TTR of the next piece to be loaded and given 
control, based on decision made in the current piece.

The shop wrote a new piece to be the 3rd to be given control on SVC51's flow, 
and redirected processing to code that enhanced debugging, then returned to the 
appropriate point on the normal flow through its own WTG table.

A special utility IEHIOSUP had to be invoked to refit TTRs on modules' WTG 
tables after applying PTFs.
