     NAME       : HCPRECBK
     DESCRIPTION: RECORDING RECORD FORMAT BLOCK
     DSECT      : RECBK
     FUNCTION   : MAPS THE ENTRIES IN THE RECORDING TABLE OF
                  SUBSCRIBERS TO VARIOUS RECORDING SYSTEM SERVICES
     LOCATED BY : RTHDATA
     CREATED BY : HCPREC ASSEMBLY
     DELETED BY : NONE
     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 RECTVERS field.)

                                            area yet.) NOTES : The following
                                            field is used to indicate when
                                            the RECBK format has changed and
                                            what that change was due to. Any
                                            code defined here should be
                                            checked in HCPRECKP when old
                                            format RECBKs are read from the
                                            checkpoint cylinders. The old
                                            format RECBKs should then be
                                            updated appropriately to the new
                                            format. Code should also be added
                                            to HCPRIUCF and HCPRECRI to set
                                            the code for any RECBKs that are
                                            being newly created AFTER the
                                            format change. A new code should
                                            only need to be defined here when
                                            a change to the RECBK causes it
                                            to be incompatible with a
                                            previous format (as in the case
                                            of the RECTCNT field being
                                            expanded from a halfword to a
                                            fullword). Due to compatibility,
                                            the displacement of this field
                                            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'.
