#### STOBK Prolog

     Name       : DMSSTOBK
     Description: Storage descriptor block
     DSECT      : STOBK
     Function   : Mapping macro which maps allocated
                  and unallocated storage. There is a STOBK for
                  every page of storage within the virtual
                  machine.
