 NAME       : HCPAMSG
 DESCRIPTION: Asynchronous Event Message
 DSECT      : AMSG
 FUNCTION   : Preserve a Delayed Response Message until retrieved by
              requestor.
 LOCATED BY : Pointer (VDEVAEVT) in the Virtual Device Block
              Pointer (VDEVREVT) in the Virtual Device Block
              Pointer (SCTMFPT/SCTMLPT) in CFLF Subsystem
              Connect Table (See NOTES below).
 CREATED BY : HCPSVIAP - Delayed Response Message Routing.
              HCPLFPSF - CFLF Perform Subsystem Function CCW
              Simulation (See NOTES below).
 DELETED BY : HCPAEPPD - Purge all outstanding AEBK, AMSG and IOCM blocks
              for the Virtual Device.
              HCPAEPRD - Retrieve Delayed Response Message (CCW SIMULATION)
              HCPLFSIM - CFLF Read Subsystem Data CCW simulation
              (See NOTES below).
 NOTES      : This block is also used by the CFLF simulation
              support. In thi case the Asynchronous Message block
              is allocated and returned either Synchronously or
              Asynchronously to a CFLF user during Read Subsystem
              Data CCW simulation.
