     NAME       : HCPXBLBK
     DESCRIPTION: XA buffer list block.
     DSECT      : XBLBK
     FUNCTION   : This block is used to keep track of the real buffers
                  that contain virtual device information.
     LOCATED BY : Addressability is established when obtaining
                  FREE storage. The block is not anchored anywhere.
     CREATED BY : HCPIIR when saving the virtual device information.
                  - HCPNSE when restoring the virtual device information.
     DELETED BY : HCPNSE will return the block to FREE storage.
     COMMENTS   : This is a variable length block. The size is the header,
                  plus one-half the number of real page buffers, plus one.
