RTHBK Prolog

 NAME       : HCPRTHBK
 DESCRIPTION: RECORDING TABLE HEADER BLOCK
 DSECT      : RTHBK
 FUNCTION   : MAPS OUT THE HEADER INFORMATION ON THE RECORDING
              SYSTEM SERVICE TABLE
 LOCATED BY : SYSRECQU
 SERIALIZED : SYSRECLK
 NOTES      : This control block gets checkpointed during SHUTDOWN and
              will be read back in during a WARM start.  Therefore, if
              the format of the block changes due to service being
              applied before the warm start, code should be in place to
              distinguish between the old and new format.  (See the
              note below describing the RTHVERS field.)

Previously: RTHMSGN field NOTES : The following field is used to indicate when the RTHBK format has changed and what that change was due to. Any code defined here should be checked in HCPRECKP when old format RTHBK is read from the checkpoint cylinders. The old format RTHBK should then be updated appropriately to the new format. Code should also be added to HCPRIURI to set the code for the RTHBK that is being newly created AFTER the format change. A new code should only need to be defined here when a change to the RTHBK causes it to be incompatible with a previous format. Due to compatibility, the displacement of the RTHVERS field should NEVER change. Previous versions of this control block had this field marked 'RESERVED' and the field was known to be zero. Therefore, previous versions were version X'00'. 0008 8 Bitstring 1 RTHVERS RTHBK Version indicator 00000000 RTHVN00 X'00' For version 00, original format 00000001 RTHVN01 X'01' For version 01, Full Page RTHBK 0009 9 Bitstring 1 RTHRID RECORDING TABLE IDENTIFIER.
