#### ACABK Prolog

     Name       : HCPVEXBK
     Description: Map CASBKs at beginning of VEXBK.
     DSECT      : ACABK
     Notes      : The following maps the area at the beginning of the
                  VEXBK which contains the CASBKs.  Hence, this DSECT
                  is called the ACABK (Area for Contiguous Available
                  Slots).  The ACABK is used to avoid checking for
                  page or spool slots numerous times.
