     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.
