#### PDSBK Prolog

     Name       : HCPPDSBK
     Description: Partitioned Data Set Block
     DSECT      : PDSBK
     Function   : The PDSBK describes the contents of CMS partitioned
                  data set headers.
     Located by : It is record number 1 of the CMS file
     Created by : None
     Deleted by : None
     Notes      : This description of the PDS directory description
                  record was extracted from the CMS file PDSSECT MACRO.
                  The CMS definitions are shown here, too.  It makes for
                  cluttered listing, but it helps to see the CMS
                  original definitions.
