#### BIOPG Prolog

     NAME       : HCPBIOPG
     DESCRIPTION: DASD Block I/O Storage Management Block
     DSECT      : BIOPG aka BIOBG
     FUNCTION   : Contains header information and room to
                  allocate I/O related control blocks for
                  DIAGNOSE 18, A4, 250 and *BLOCKIO.
     LOCATED BY : BIOPGNXT and BIOPGPRV links the list together
                  (caller must remember the start)
     CREATED BY : HCPDPSGP
     DELETED BY : HCPDPSRP, HCPDPSCU
     COMMENTS   : This block comes in two sizes: 2040 bytes and
                  4088 bytes.  The size chosen is determined by
                  the length of the request.
                  The BIOPG consists of a header and available storage.
                  Its used as a source for control blocks.  The HCPDPCUT
                  macro will obtain storage from the BIOPG to create
                  control blocks such as the IORBK and DVIOPs. This avoids
                  the need to call HCPFREE for each needed control block.
                  When the storage in one BIOPG is used up, another is
                  obtained and linked to the previous using BIOPGNXT.
