IMO, a assembler subroutine that does RDJFCB is a better option than chasing control blocks. I wrote one that we call from our C++ product and its about 120 lines of assembler code, with XPLINK linkage. However, we use EDCDSECT to convert the JFCB dsect to a C header so that you can look at anything you want from C/C++. It's been very reliable for many years in all sorts of use cases.
