     Name       : IMMBLOK
     Description: Immediate Command Support
     DSECT      : IMMBLOK
     Function   : Mapping macro which maps information describing
                  the characteristics of an immediate command.
                  This block is created whenever an immediate
                  command is established; it contains information
                  about the immediate command. IMMBLOK is called
                  by the IMMBLOK macro.
