ACTBK Prolog

 NAME       : HCPACTBK
 DESCRIPTION: ISFC CP Application activation control block
 STATUS     : VM/ESA Version 2, Release 3.0
 DSECT      : ACTBK
 FUNCTION   : Hold information associated with the activation of
              a specific CP application.
 LOCATED BY : Activation table, PTHBK, CARBK.
 CREATED BY : Activate function.
 DELETED BY : Deactivate function marks it, mailbox releases it.
 SERIALIZED : There are 3 distinct sections to the ACTBK,
              and each of these sections is serialized differently:
   1) The fields containing the application name, the
      REGBK address, and the deliver address are static
      for the life of the control block.  These fields may be
      read if no loss of control has occurred since a valid
      pointer to the ACTBK was retrieved.
      - Pointers to the ACTBK may be obtained
        in three ways:
        o  By using HCPVERFY to verify an ACTBK handle.
        o  From the PTHACTBK pointer for a path associated
           with this CP application.
        o  From a CARBK which is being dequeued from the
           CP application input queue (HCPAAKIQ).  This is
           safe because deactivation processing will queue
           the deactivate CARBK behind any transmit CARBKs
           on this queue.
           NOTE: This is dependent on a share of the ACTBK
                 lock being obtained after using HCPVERFY
                 to validate the ACTBK handle *WITHOUT AN
                 INTERVENING LOSS OF CONTROL*.  This share
                 of the ACTBK lock must be held until after
                 the CARBK has been enqueued.
   2) ACTCHILD contains pointers for the binary ACTBK
      tree that are serialized by the activation table lock
      (i.e., the lock defined in the BLEHD for the activation
      table in HCPBDAAC).
   3) The fields following the ACTLKWRD lockword are
      serialized by that lockword (which we call the
      ACTBK lock).
 NOTES      :
              Reserved fields intentionally not defined.
              Due to the various serialization sections in this
              control block, reserved spaces have not been defined.
              New fields must be defined in the proper section
              of this control block based on the serialization on
              that field.
              In a pathless environment, path information for a CP
              application is pointed to by the ACTBK. The ACTBK contains
              lockwords and pointers to a chain of TRGBKs.
