 NAME       : HCPSEGG
 DESCRIPTION: z/Architecture Segment Table Entry
 DSECT      : SEGG
 Function   : There is one segment table entry for each
              megabyte of address space.  A segment table is
              made up of contiguous segment table entries.
              The format of the segment table entry is
              ARCHITECTED and cannot be changed in any way
              which violates the architecture.
 Notes      : The segment table entry does not contain a page
              table length.  All page tables represent a
              full megabyte of virtual storage (256 page table entries).
