TVISECT Prolog

 Name       : TVISECT
 Description: DMSTVI PLIST - Tape Volume Processing I-face
 DSECT      : TVISECT
 Function   : THIS MACRO MAPS THE PLIST THAT IS PASSED TO DMSTVI
              WHEN DMSTVI IS CALLED. THE ADDRESS OF THE PLIST
              IS IN REGISTER 1 WHEN DMSTVI IS CALLED. TVISECT
              is a parameter list that defines the input to a
              user supplied DMSTVI module. TVISECT is
              generated when the user issues the TVISECT
              macro.
 Notes      : MODULE TYPE is MACRO
              PROCESSOR is ASSEMBLER F
