     NAME       : HCPRSSBK
     DESCRIPTION: RECORDING SYSTEM SERVICE BLOCK
     DSECT      : RSSBK
     FUNCTION   : MAPS OUT THE HEADER OF SYSTEM RECORDS ON THE
                  RECORDING QUEUE.
     LOCATED BY : RTHQUE
                  RSSNEXT CHAINED
     DELETED BY : HCPREC
     NOTES      : This control block gets checkpointed during SHUTDOWN and
                  will be read back in during a WARM start.  Therefore, if
                  the format of the block changes due to service being
                  applied before the warm start, code should be in place to
                  distinguish between the old and new format.  (See the
                  note below describing the RSSVERS field.)

                                            function NOTES : The following
                                            field is used to indicate when
                                            the RSSBK format has changed and
                                            what that change was due to. Any
                                            code defined here should be
                                            checked in HCPRECKP when old
                                            format RSSBKs are read from the
                                            checkpoint cylinders. The old
                                            format RSSBKs should then be
                                            updated appropriately to the new
                                            format. Code should also be added
                                            to HCPRIUCF and HCPRECRI to set
                                            the code for any RSSBKs that are
                                            being newly created AFTER the
                                            format change. A new code should
                                            only need to be defined here when
                                            a change to the RSSBK causes it
                                            to be incompatible with a
                                            previous format (as in the case
                                            of the RSSMSGN field being
                                            expanded from a halfword to a
                                            fullword). Due to compatibility,
                                            the displacement of RSSVERS
                                            should NEVER change. Previous
                                            versions of this control block
                                            had this field marked 'RESERVED'
                                            and the field was known to be
                                            zero. Therefore, previous
                                            versions were version X'00'. In
                                            addition, RSSFLAG should never be
                                            moved. This field is used without
                                            regard to the version of the
                                            RSSBK.
