ACABK Prolog

 Name       : HCPVEXBK
 Description: Map CASBKs at beginning of VEXBK.
 DSECT      : ACABK
 Notes      : The following maps the area at the beginning of the
              VEXBK which contains the CASBKs.  Hence, this DSECT
              is called the ACABK (Area for Contiguous Available
              Slots).  The ACABK is used to avoid checking for
              page or spool slots numerous times.
