That thing needs some updating... Problem is, where does one begin? Allocation, perhaps the TIOT, then the UCB...?
Anyway, I added some commentary. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin Packer Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 3:50 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: UCB Wikipedia Article Can someone (or SEVERAL someones) who understand(s) IOS etc take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_Control_Block and this talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Unit_Control_Block and contribute to them both. In particular I'm concerned with the question raised as to who actually gets to access a UCB. I DOUBT very much it's the average application program. :-) Thanks!
