Model 10. The model number of the CPU in decimal.<br />

Each digit is represented by four bits, and the<br />

significant digits are right justified in the<br />

half-word. For example, a Model 50 would be<br />

represented as 0050.<br />

Release number. The level of this release, in<br />

EBCDIC.<br />

Address of a double word, the first containing the<br />

next-to-be dispatched TCB address, the second<br />

containing the last (current) TCB address. Both<br />

words are identical unless the task goes into a WAIT<br />

state. When in a WAIT state, the first word is set<br />

to zero until the waiting is over; then both words<br />

are once again identical.<br />

Address of routine to schedule asynchronous exits.<br />

Address of the DCB for the SYS1.LINKLIB data set.<br />

Address of work queue control blocks used by the job<br />

scheduler.<br />

Address of the buffer of the resident console<br />

interrupt routine.<br />

Address of the I/O supervisor appendage table.<br />

Address of entry point of the task supervisor's<br />

address validity checking routine.<br />

Address of entry point of the routine which converts<br />

a relative track address (TTR) to an absolute track<br />

address (MBBCCHHR).<br />

Address of entry point of the routine which converts<br />

an absolute track address (MBBCCHHR) to a relative<br />

track address (TTR).<br />

Address of the channel and control unit portion of<br />

the UCB lookup tatle.<br />

Address of the UCB address list portion of the UCB<br />

lookup table.<br />

Address of entry point of an XCTL routine that brings<br />

system error routines into the error transient area.<br />

Address of the system residence volume entry in the<br />

UCB table.<br />

Address of entry point of the ABTERM routine.<br />

Current date in packed decimal.
