BIOPL Prolog

 NAME       : HCPBIOPL
 DESCRIPTION: Block I/O Parameter List
 DSECT      : BIOPL
 FUNCTION   : This DSECT maps data representing details of
              a service requested of the Diagnose X'250'
              processor.
 LOCATED BY : The Rx register contains the address of the
              BIOPL in guest storage at the time the
              DIAGNOSE X'250' is issued.  If this is an XC
              guest executing in host-access-register mode,
              then the Ax register identifies the address
              space containing the BIOPL.
 CREATED BY : HCPBID25
 DELETED BY : HCPBID25
 SERIALIZED : Instruction stream serialization
 RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : None
 COMMENTS   : This control block is used to map the
              parameter list for each function code of
              DIAGNOSE X'250'. Since each has its own
              requirements, with only the device number
              in common, redefinitions are done, one per
              function code.
              NOTES      : when adding fields to this control
              block, the following conventions should be
              followed:
              - Fields common to all function codes should
              be added BEFORE field BIOFNDEF.
              - Fields specific to a function code should
              be added to the areas that remap BIOFNDEF.
              - If it is necessary to expand the size of
              one of the function-code-specific
              sections, all must be expanded and the
              explicitly coded length on the BIOFNDEF
              field must be changed.
              This control block is a GPI, and should
              not be changed incompatibly.
