How is that relevant to the claims about TCB structure?

Unless the implementation of EXEC has changed radically, any reaonable
definition of directly would have to include commands from a CLIST. If
the TMP does a GETLINE or PUTGET, builds a CPPL and attaches the task,
how much more direct can it get? It's the same code path as the
command from the terminal.

Water is wet.

That's specialized behavior and by no means the normal batch TSO. If
you don't know why youi're using IKJEFT1[AB] then you probably
shouldn't be using them.
