PSIBK Prolog

 NAME       : HCPPSIBK
 DESCRIPTION: Previous System Image block
 DSECT      : PSIBK
 FUNCTION   : Defines a mapping for an area of storage that
              contains information saved over a bounce when
              the new image is not same version, release,
              modification level, and architecture as the
              previous running system.
 LOCATED BY : Entry Point HCPLODPS is where it exists.
              Temporarily exists in HCPBOU's work page during
              bounce processing.
 CREATED BY : HCPBOU  Creates a PSIBK with information about the
              system that was running.
              HCPLOD  Creates a PSIBK from the one passed by HCPBOU
              or creates a PSIBK on its own if
              HCPBOU does not pass one (bounce from old
              version of CP).
 DELETED BY : Never deleted. Storage is located within HCPLOD.
 SERIALIZED : Used only during single-threaded
              initialization and termination processing.
 COMMENTS   : If PSINAME is not "HCPPSIBK", the rest of the block
              is not valid, which means that this was a system IPL
              from the system console.
              If PSIABEND is zero, the restart was because of a
              SHUTDOWN REIPL command.
