     Name       : DBGSECT
     Description: Debug Work Area
     DSECT      : DBGSECT
     Function   : Mapping macro which maps the debug
                  information found at abnormal termination.
                  DBGSECT is the DSECT used by DEBUG for saving
                  registers, PSWs, and other data. V-constants in
                  DMSDBD, DMSDBG, and DMSITE point to the DEBUG
                  work area. DBGSECT is called by the DBGSECT
                  macro.
