NAME : HCPSFNDX
DESCRIPTION: CHECKPOINT SPOOL FILE POINTERS
DSECT : SFNDX
FUNCTION : To point to the first map page (SPMBK) for each
spool file in the system. The number of entries
in this table is determined by the size of the
warmstart area. Each 4K page on the warmstart
cylinder allows for 1022 entries, one for each
possible spoolid. If an entry contains a zero,
it indicates that the corresponding spoolid is
available for a new spool file.
LOCATED BY : The SFNDX entries occupy contiguous pages of
system virtual storage. The first page of the
SFNDX is pointed to by SYSVSNDX in SYSCM.
CREATED BY : The virtual pages reserved for the SFNDX
entries are cleared to zero when the system is
CLEAN started. They are reinitialized when
the system is WARM, FORCE, or COLD started
(only entries for system data files are
reinitialized for COLD starts).
During normal system processing, the SFNDX
entries are initialized by HCPSFSON when opening
a new spool file.
DELETED BY : When a spool file is deleted, HCPSFRDR zeroes
out the corresponding SFNDX entry. The storage
allocated for the SFNDX entries is never
deleted.
RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : None
