LANGBLK Prolog

 Name       : LANGBLK
 Description: CMS Language Control Block
 DSECT      : LANGBLK
 Function   : Generates a copy of language control
              block for the caller. LANGBLK points to
              language information that an application uses.
              The LANGBLK for the default language is in
              DMSNUC. A LANGBLK is created by the set
              language command. LANGBLK is called by the
              LANGBLK macro.
