BIOPG Prolog
NAME : HCPBIOPG DESCRIPTION: DASD Block I/O Storage Management Block DSECT : BIOPG aka BIOBG FUNCTION : Contains header information and room to allocate I/O related control blocks for DIAGNOSE 18, A4, 250 and *BLOCKIO. LOCATED BY : BIOPGNXT and BIOPGPRV links the list together (caller must remember the start) CREATED BY : HCPDPSGP DELETED BY : HCPDPSRP, HCPDPSCU COMMENTS : This block comes in two sizes: 2040 bytes and 4088 bytes. The size chosen is determined by the length of the request. The BIOPG consists of a header and available storage. Its used as a source for control blocks. The HCPDPCUT macro will obtain storage from the BIOPG to create control blocks such as the IORBK and DVIOPs. This avoids the need to call HCPFREE for each needed control block. When the storage in one BIOPG is used up, another is obtained and linked to the previous using BIOPGNXT.
