                   Data Queue Definitions
                   ----------------------
   Saved Segment SNTBK queue: The Saved Segment SNTBK queue is
   a list of SNTBKs that represents each DCSS and Segment Space
   that is currently loaded by at least one user. Its header
   is NSUSGQAN.
   Named Saved System SNTBK queue: The Named Saved System SNTBK
   queue is a list of SNTBKs that represents each Named Saved
   System that is IPL'd by at least one user. Its header is
   NSUSYQAN.
   *NSS SDF queue: The *NSS SDF queue is a list of all Saved
   Segment and Named Saved System SDF files. Whenever a Saved
   Segment or Named Saved System is defined a spool file is
   created and put onto this queue. When the first DIAG X'64'
   Load or CP IPL command is processed for the Saved Segment
   or Named Saved System, the SDF file is opened, the SNTBK
   description page is read into storage and put onto the
   Saved Segment SNTBK or Named Saved System SNTBK queue
   respectively. If the Saved Segment is a member segment then
   the Segment Space SNTBK will be put onto the Saved Segment
   SNTBK queue. The SDF file remains open for read as long as
   at least one user has the Saved Segment loaded or the Named
   Saved System IPLed. The header of the *NSS SDF queue is
   located in the FILID table (reserved entry *NSS).
   VMDBK/SHRBK queue: The VMDBK/SHRBK is a queue of SHRBKs
   that represents a DIAG X'64' Load or CP IPL command for
   the owner of the VMDBK. Each time a Saved Segment or Named
   Saved System is loaded a SHRBK is added to this queue. It
   is removed by a DIAG X'64' Purge request or a system reset.
   The header of the VMDBK/SHRBK is VMDSHRPT.
   SNTBK/SHRBK queue: The SNTBK/SHRBK is a queue of SHRBKs that
   represents a DIAG X'64' Load or CP IPL command for this
   Saved Segment or Named Saved System. Each time a Saved
   Segment or Named Saved System is loaded a SHRBK is added to
   this queue. It is removed by a DIAG X'64' Purge request or
   a system reset. The header of the SNTBK/SHRBK is SNTSHRPT.
   SAVESEG SNTBK queue: The SAVESEG SNTBK queue is a list of
   SNTBKs that represents each Saved Segment that is currently
   being saved. This queue should be referenced by any CP
   function (such as Query or Purge NSS) that needs to obtain
   information about a Saved Segment that is currently being
   saved. The header of the SAVESEG queue is NSUSSGAN.
   SAVESYS SNTBK queue: The SAVESYS SNTBK queue is a list of
   SNTBKs that represents each Named Saved System that is
   currently being saved. This queue should be referenced by
   any CP function (such as Query or Purge NSS) that needs to
   obtain information about a Named Saved System that is
   currently being saved. The header of the SAVESYS queue is
   NSUSSYAN.
   SPTape SNTBK queue: The SPTape SNTBK queue is a list of
   SNTBKs that represents each unloadable Named Saved System or
   Saved Segment that is currently being SPTape dumped. This
   queue should be referenced by any CP function (such as
   Query or Purge NSS) that needs to obtain information about
   a Saved Segment or Named Saved System that is currently
   being SPTape dumped. The header of the SPTape SNTBK queue
   is NSUSPTAN.
   Lock Hierarchy for Saved Segment or Named Saved System
   ------------------------------------------------------
   Level 1 Locks: VMDBK/SHRBK queue lock (VMDSHRLK)
                  DEFSEG/SAVESEG exclusive command lock
                    (NSUDSGLK)
                  DEFSYS/SAVESYS symbolic command lock
                    (NSUDSYAN)
   Level 2 Lock:  *NSS SDF queue lock (NSUSDFLK)
   Level 3 Lock:  Named Saved System SNTBK queue lock
                  (NSUSYQLK)
   Level 4 Lock:  Saved Segment SNTBK queue lock (NSUSGQLK)
   Level 5 Lock:  SNTBK/SHRBK queue lock (SNTSHRLK) for one of
                    Member Saved Segment, DCSS, or Named Saved
                    System
   Level 6 Lock:  SNTBK/SHRBK queue lock (SNTSHRLK) for Segment
                    Space
   Note: 1) The level 1 locks are the hightest level locks and
            the level 6 locks are the lowest level locks.
         2) If locks need to be obtained from different levels,
            then the higher level lock needs to be obtained
            first.
         See the definition and description of each individual
         lock for more detailed information.
