 NAME       : HCPTTABK
 DESCRIPTION: Table of Trace Entry Codes
 DSECT      : TTABK
 FUNCTION   :
              This control block maps the structure of the
              table of trace entry codes as they exist either
              in HCPTTATB data area, or in free storage created
              by the SET CPTRACE command processor.
 LOCATED BY :
              PFXTTATB points to the non-explicit (default)
              copy of the TTABK
              VMDTTABK in every VMDBK
 CREATED BY :
              HCPCFASC - SET CPTRACE command processor
              The HCPTTATB data area, also mapped by this block,
              is part of the CP resident nucleus
 DELETED BY :
              HCPCFAFR - Fret TTABK's which SET CPTRACE acquired
              HCPCFALG - Fret (if necessary) a VMDBK's TTABK
              during LOGOFF processing
              The HCPTTATB data area is never deleted
 SERIALIZED :
              TTALOCK - prevents concurrent changes via multiple
              SET CPTRACE commands
              MP Defer - TTABK's in free storage are only fretted
              via the MP defer mechanism (HCPMPDFR).
 RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : None
 NOTES      :
        The trace entry codes below are ordered according
        to their frequency of occurrence in the system
        trace tables. As CP tracing evolves and changes,
        so should the order, in order to provide the best
        possible cache utilization.
        The number of fullwords reserved for TTACODES and
        TTACODEN must be equal or greater than the number
        of codes defined in HCPTTABK. The CKMAINT macro is
        used to ensure this by causing an assembly error
        when too many codes are added and there is no room.
        The size of HCPTTABK must not go over 1 page
        since a base register is used to address it.
 General Information -
        Trace Codes x'C0xx' are reserved for VICOM.
        Trace Codes x'7F00' to x'7FFF' are reserved for
        installation use.  See comments below.
        Codes that are added in here, must also be added to
        HCPTTA ASSEMBLE, at entry HCPTTATR.  The only
        exception would be if the trace code you add will
        NOT be controlled by the SET CPTRACE command (which
        should not be the norm).  Note that the way you
        specify the trace entry in HCPTTA must be reflected
        in the CP Command and Utility Reference, under the
        SET CPTRACE command.  That is, with SET CPTRACE, a
        system programmer can activate or deactivate the
        trace function for a specific code, a category of
        codes, or for all codes.  Let's look at an example
        from HCPTTA ASSEMBLE:
          TCTGEN 1,ALLCODES,MINLEN=3
          TCTGEN   2,EXT
          TCTGEN     3,0100        External interruption
          TCTGEN     3,PCDIAG
          TCTGEN       4,3C00      Proc controller diagnose
          TCTGEN       4,3C55      Proc controller diagnose
          TCTGEN     3,PCSERVC
        A system programmer could issue:
  SET CPTRACE OFF ALLCODES    * All tracing is off
  SET CPTRACE OFF EXT         * Turn off 0100, plus category
                                PCDIAG & PCSERVC, which
                                include 3C00 & 3C55, etc.
  SET CPTRACE OFF PCDIAG      * Turn off PCDIAG
  SET CPTRACE OFF 3C00        * Turn off 3C00 only
 Deleting a Trace Entry Code
   Starting in V5.4.0, deleted trace entry codes can be
   reused.  Trace entry codes are not permanently assigned.
   Do *not* simply remove the label from a trace entry
   code. Every trace entry code must have a label.
