 FUNCTION - Map a Monitor record.

        MRRECHDR    Monitor Record Header
 NAME - MRSTOASP
 DESCRIPTIVE NAME - Monitor Sample Record
                    Domain 3 - Storage Domain
                    Record 4 - Auxiliary Storage Management
                               (per Exposure)
 DESCRIPTION - Information concerning paging and spooling space
               usage.  A separate record is generated for each
               hardware exposure associated with each volume.
 NOTES:
   - A volume may be CP owned or a mapped mini-disk volume that
     is not CP owned.  See STOASP_CALFLAG1.
   - Some CP volumes may be mapped minidisk volumes.
     See STOASP_CALFLAG1.
   - For volumes where multiple exposures exist on the same
     device, the fields whose names begin with STOASP_EXPxxxxx
     apply only to the exposure. All other fields in this
     record apply to the device.
