NAME : HCPALOC DESCRIPTION: DASD VOLUME ALLOCATION BLOCK DSECT : ALOC FUNCTION : Maps the DASD allocation record on DASD for CYLINDER-BASED ALLOCATION MAPPING. (ECKD/CKD DASD with less than or equal to ALOCMAXCM cylinders.) LOCATED BY : The allocation record resides on CP formatted CKD and ECKD DASD on cylinder 0, head 0, record 4. It exists only temporarily in storage. CREATED BY : ICKDSF when a CKD or ECKD DASD with less than or equal to ALOCMAXCM cylinders is formatted for CP use. DELETED BY : Exists in storage only until the in-storage representation of the allocation map (HCPVEXBK, HCPEXTBK) is built. RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : None COMMENTS : If a CKD or ECKD DASD with more than ALOCMAXCM cylinders is formatted by ICKDSF, then an EXTENT-BASED ALLOCATION MAPPING is used. ALOC DSECT maps all CYLINDER-BASED ALLOCATION MAPPING. ALOCEXT DSECT maps all EXTENT-BASED ALLOCATION MAPPING.
