The Data Areas books are excellent manuals (I almost used fine without thinking of its alias).
But they are reference works. What I think petitioner wants/needs is a guide to MVS control blocks, which becomes a guide to MVS internals. He needs to know how to start with the PSA and find everything. If that exists in the zOS library I don't know where it might be, other than distributed across various manuals.

We document a thousand or so of them in the five volumes of the z/OS MVS Data Areas books on the z/OS R7 bookshelf at: > http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/EZ2ZO10f > ...but trying to see the forest by looking at all the twigs will be difficult. I think it would probably be helpful to reduce the scope here. What are you trying to find out?
