     NAME       : HCPBELBK
     DESCRIPTION: Block I/O entry list
     DSECT      : BELBK
     FUNCTION   : This DSECT maps the input parameter list sent
                  by the guest to CP when the guest requests
                  an I/O operation via DIAGNOSE X'250'.
     LOCATED BY : BRQBELBK in the BRQBK
     CREATED BY : HCPBIDRW (who copies the guest's parameter
                  list into host storage)
     DELETED BY : HCPBIDRW, for synchronous requests
                  HCPBIDRW. for asynchronous requests
                  satisfied synchronously
                  HCPBIRIN, for asynchronous requests
                  satisfied asynchronously
     SERIALIZED : Instruction stream serialization
     COMMENTS   :
                  This parameter list may not be word-aligned in
                  guest storage. However, this DSECT assumes that
                  before any fields are referenced, the parameter
                  list has been moved into host storage and
                  word-aligned. References to fields in this block
                  will cause an exception if this is not the case.
                  There is one entry within the block I/O entry list
                  for each read/write request.
                  This control block is a GPI, and should
                  not be changed incompatibly.
