     NAME - MRSEKSEK
     DESCRIPTIVE NAME - Monitor Event Record
                        Domain 7 - Seek Domain
                        Record 1 - Seek Data
     DESCRIPTION - Record of access arm movement ("Seek I/O") on a DASD
                   device or of a set paging parameter to a cache device.
                   Generated each time an I/O channel program containing
                   seek commands(s) is executed.
                   This record contains seek data that may enable a
                   user, such as an operating system developer, to tune
                   DASD seek scheduling algorithms.  This record is NOT
                   intended for DASD load balancing.  However, it can be
                   used to tune a cached minidisk to minimize the number
                   of tracks that must be cached.
     NOTES:
     --  Because of the frequency of seek I/O operations, an extremely
         large number of this record will be generated.  For this
         reason, seek-domain monitoring should be limited to specific
         devices or a specific set of devices.
     --  The order in which the records are generated may not be the
         order in which the commands are executed by the device.
     --  The seek may not be executed by a device when there is a
         permanent device error or when branching is done in the channel
         program which bypasses segments.
