 NAME       : HCPSPDBK
 DESCRIPTION: SPOOL FILE DATA PAGE BLOCK
 DSECT      : SPDBK
 FUNCTION   : CONTAINS THE  ACTUAL SPOOL FILE DATA, AND THE
              ASSOCIATED CCW'S TO PROCESS THAT INFORMATION.
 LOCATED BY :
              (1) LOCATED IN SYSTEM VIRTUAL STORAGE BY:
              SPAVSPD  - ANCHOR FOR THE CURRENT SPDBK
              (2) LOCATED ON DASD BY:
              SPADSPD  - THE ASA (DASD ADDRESS) OF THE SPDBK
              CURRENTLY IN VIRTUAL STORAGE.
              SPAASA   - 1 TO 16 ASA'S SPECIFYING THE DASD
              ADDRESSES OF THE CURRENT SET OF
              SPDBK'S.  THIS LIST IS COPIED
              FROM THE SPMBK.
              SPMASA   - MASTER LIST OF ALL THE SPDBK'S
              NEEDED TO COMPRISE A SPOOL FILE.
 CREATED BY :
              (1) CREATED IN SYSTEM VIRTUAL STORAGE BY:
              HCPSFROP - WHEN A SPOOL FILE IS OPENED AND
              SENT TO A REAL OUTPUT DEVICE.
              HCPSFSON - WHEN A SPOOL FILE IS OPENED FOR
              CREATION.
              HCPSFVOP - WHEN A SPOOL FILE IS OPENED FOR
              READING BY A VIRTUAL READER.
              (2) CREATED ON DASD BY:
              HCPVSPPW - WRITES THE SPDBKS TO DASD (FOR ALL
              TYPES OF SPOOL FILES).
              HCPRSPEX - REWRITES THE FIRST SPDBK WITH TAG
              DATA IN IT FOR SPOOL FILES
              CREATED BY REAL CARD READERS.
              HCPSFVCL - REWRITES THE FIRST SPDBK WITH TAG
              DATA IN IT FOR SPOOL FILES
              CREATED BY VIRTUAL PRINTERS AND
              PUNCHES.
 DELETED BY :
              (1) DELETED IN SYSTEM VIRTUAL STORAGE BY:
              HCPSFRCL - WHEN A SPOOL FILE CREATED ON A REAL
              CARD READER IS CLOSED.
              HCPSFVCL - WHEN A SPOOL FILE CREATED ON A
              VIRTUAL PRINTER OR PUNCH IS
              CLOSED.
              HCPSFSON - WHEN AN ERROR OCCURS OPENING A
              SPOOL FILE FOR CREATION.
              (2) DELETED ON DASD BY:
              HCPRSPIO - WHEN AN SPDBK CREATED ON A REAL
              CARD READER NEVER GETS DATA.
              HCPSDFCL - WHEN THE LAST SPDBK ALLOCATED FOR
              A SYSTEM DATA FILE NEVER GETS
              DATA.
              HCPSFRDL - WHENEVER A SPOOL FILE IS DELETED.
 RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : None
