 NAME       : LGRAMSG
 DESCRIPTION: Relocation mapping for HCPAMSG
 DSECT      : $AMSG
 FUNCTION   : LGRAMSG describes those fields of the AMSG block
              that will be relocated to the destination system
              during guest relocation.
 LOCATED BY : This is a mapping of the RDODATA area within the
              RDOBK during guest relocation.
 CREATED BY : HCPRLFAF - AMSG/IOCM Formatter for LGR
 DELETED BY : HCPRLDRL - Release storage associated with an RDP
 RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : This control block is used during live guest
              relocation.  It is used to relocate a control block
              defined in a corresponding HCP COPY file.  Any
              fields or bits defined in HCPAMSG which are
              required on the destination system must be defined
              here, and code must be added to migrate the field
              or bit during a relocation.

      Bit map: Contains the AMSG flags that are subject to
               relocation. These bits are defined sequentially,
               regardless of how they are defined in HCPAMSG.
               This yields a consistent mapping that ensures
               compatibility when a guest is relocated between
               systems at differing service levels.
               Names in the comments column indicate the control
               block byte which contains the flag. This name is
               subject to change if the flag definition changes.

               All fields are defined as XLnn to avoid alignment
               warnings and to pack the data efficiently.
