         PGSPCL is used for page serialization. This bit (and therefore page
         serialization) may only be obtained through the use of the page
         serialization macros.
         Note that the Page Control Lock and the RCP Interlock bit are one in
         the same if the Storage Key Assist is being utilized.
         The bits PGSERROR and PGSTRANS are modifiers to the Page Control Lock.
         The following table identifies the meaning of the state of the Page
         Control Lock and it's modifiers:

                                            to identify first time reference
                                            pages of zeros which have never
                                            been re-referenced or changed and
                                            can simply be discarded. The
                                            "first time reference page of
                                            zeros" state is identified by the
                                            following bit combination:
                                            noformat PTE: PAGINVAL=0 (page is
                                            valid and resident) PGSTE:
                                            PGSINVAL=1 (no DASD slot
                                            assigned) PGSRCPHR=0
                                            (unreferenced) PGSRCPHC=0
                                            (unchanged) Real frame storage
                                            key: Reference=0 (unreferenced)
                                            Change =0 (unchanged) enoformat
                                            Any resident page in this state
                                            is assumed to be unchanged zeros,
                                            and therefore simply discardable
                                            by steal. No page with non-zero
                                            contents should ever be allowed
                                            to be in this state, or a lost
                                            page will eventually result. The
                                            host change bit, PGSRCPHC, should
                                            be used to indicate that a page
                                            which is unchanged, not already
                                            on DASD, and non-zero, must be
                                            eventually written to DASD. *
                                            Note that both reference bits
                                            (PGSRCPHR and the real storage
                                            frame reference bit) can
                                            "evaporate" to zero over time due
                                            to the action of the reorder
                                            function. Therefore, the fact
                                            that a frame has been referenced,
                                            or setting PGSRCPHR on, can not
                                            prevent a page from eventually
                                            entering this "first time
                                            reference page of zeros" state.

                                            File) ASA is to be ignored and
                                            the page left as changed. When
                                            the page is first written, it
                                            will go to a paging space ASA and
                                            this flag wil be turned off.
                                            PGS1READ on implies that page is
