Chad,
The PCB is a CM (Compatibility Mode) structure. It's NM (Native Mode)
equivalent would be a combination of the PIB (Process Information Block)
and the PIBX (Process Information Block eXtension). There is a
one-to-one connection between these structures; in other words, every
process (with the exception of THREAD'ed processes, only) has exactly
one PCB, PIB, and PIBX. Therefore there exists the same limitation on
each.
In summary, the number of PCBs is actually the number of processes
allowed on a system. Currently I think this amounts to decimal 8191
pins.
There is a program called TBLMON which will show PIB utilization, which
by definition, is the same as PCB utilization. It should be found in
the TELESUP account on your systems.
