     Name       : HCPDFDA
     DESCRIPTION: FBA Define Extent data area
     DSECT      : DFDA
     Function   : Maps the contents of the Define Extent data
                  area for FBA devices.
     Located by :
                  HCCWADDR - The Define Extent CCW data address field
                  contains the address of the define
                  extent data area.
     Created by :
                  Storage for this control block cannot be
                  specifically allocated/deallocated using
                  HCPGETST/HCPRELST.
                  Paging I/O manager -
                  Data area resides in the HCPPAGBK which
                  is allocated by HCPRDA.
                  Track cache manager -
                  Data area is part of a larger free storage
                  area used to build FBA channel programs
                  which is allocated in modules HCPFMU/HCPFMP.

                  HCPGETST/HCPRELST.
                  Paging I/O manager -
                  Data area resides in the HCPPAGBK which
                  is deallocated by HCPRDD.
                  Track cache manager -
                  Data area is part of a larger free storage
                  area used to build FBA channel programs
                  which is deallocated in modules HCPFMU/HCPFMP.
     Serialized :
                  Paging I/O manager -
                  EXPLCKFG - The paging I/O manager uses the exposure
                  block lock to serialize this data area.
                  Track cache manager -
                  TCMTSLK  - Track cache lock
     Comments   :
                  Paging I/O manager -
                  There is one define extent data area for each
                  FBA paging exposure. The data area resides
                  in the HCPPAGBK (where the set paging parameter
                  CCW would exist (but doesn't for FBA  devices)).
                  ALL the Define Extent CCWs in the volume's PIOBKs
                  contain the address of this one data area.
                  Track cache manager -
                  None
