What you suggest is what I do:
psa* psaPtr = NULL;
tcb* tcbPtr = (tcb *)psaPtr->psatold;
tiot* tiotPtr = (tiot *)tcbPtr->tcbtio;
Never had a problem with it. Hard to believe this would ever change. I
suspect it would break half the vendor code in the world, and half of the
home-grown customer utility type programs.

Subject: Getting the TIOT
To find the TIOT, a colleague uses GETDSAB, then pulls DSABTIOT out of that.
I've always seen:
L R3,540 Get TCB address
L R3,12(,R3) Get TIOT address
...which seems a tad bit mo' shorter :)
Looking at GETDSAB, it's beautifully commented with over 500 lines of
preamble, none of which explain what the DSAB is or why one would want to
get one (OK, that's a different rant - z/OS doc in general is really short
on theology; z/VM doc is MUCH better about this).
So the real question: I expect GETDSAB is the documented interface, but is
the two-line approach common? Aside from theoretical changes, is there any
reason not to use it?
