I had a short document that told me what blocks were tagged off of what other blocks to help in running the chain. The data areas don't have this information, just what's in the blocks once you find them. There are hundreds of blocks, as you already know, since you have the books. Many years ago I saw a drawing of the interrelationships of many of the "most important" blocks in the control program, and it was close to looking like a bowl of spaghetti. Then there is the huge wall-size chart showing all of DB2's control block interrelationships. This same topic was discussed here within the last year, I think. Check the archives.
Landmark Systems built a control block displaying/navigating tool into many of their monitors and also had a dump analyzer as a separate product. Check with Allen Systems if you are willing to pay $$ for this, otherwise use IPCS in a labor-intensive mode. I have no connection with Landmark/ASG any more.
