I experimented with WSA back in the day; didn't find it especially
compelling, best I can recall. I've lately been experimenting with the
ISPF plugin for z/OSMF. If you like a more pointy-clicky interface, you
might like it. I presume whatever customization done with WSA would not
apply.
I have
For the first question, SDSF has a PS command that shows all that.
For the USS ps command, there is 'man' and a manual that you can refer to;
both guaranteed to be more accurate than whatever someone posts here.

Generally, a process started inside OMVS will run in a BPXAS initiator. On
the MVS side, these are weird, in that they temporarily change their name
to something like the program running (e.g. INETD8), but unlike batch
initiators, there is no separate JES2 jobid for the client process. If you

My suggestion is to find some directory (or set of) that you can

Well, S0C4-11 does not mean the storage is fetch-protected. It means the
virtual address doesn't exist. Are you sure you're looking at a CIB? STCs
have one for the START command, but I think batch jobs only get one when a
command (MODIFY or STOP) is sent to them later on.

So what is "setenv TZ GMT00BST-01,M3.4.0/01:00,M10.4.0/01:00", chopped

I don't know what technical reasons there are for restricting an alias to
be in the same catalog as its target, but they would certainly be much
more powerful if they weren't. It would also be nice to have symlinks that
could point at MVS datasets, and aliases that pointed at USS files.

I read or heard long long ago that the I in PL/I is a roman numeral.

Obviously they are not. As a matter of fact, there *is* one correct way
(and the trademark owner would be happy to say so), and no number of errors
or passage of time changes that. So it will be occasionally mentioned.
One might complain about IBM's history of lousy names for its products.
