     NAME       : HCPRECBK
     DESCRIPTION: RECORDING RECORD FORMAT BLOCK
     DSECT      : RECBK
     FUNCTION   : MAPS THE ENTRIES IN THE RECORDING TABLE OF
                  SUBSCRIBERS TO VARIOUS RECORDING SYSTEM SERVICES
     LOCATED BY : RTHDATA
     CREATED BY : HCPREC ASSEMBLY
     DELETED BY : NONE
     NOTES      : This control block gets checkpointed during SHUTDOWN and
                  will be read back in during a WARM start.  Therefore, if
                  the format of the block changes due to service being
                  applied before the warm start, code should be in place to
                  distinguish between the old and new format.  (See the note
                  below describing the RECTVERS field.)

                                            following field is used to
                                            indicate when the RECBK format
                                            has changed and what that change
                                            was due to. Any code defined here
                                            should be checked in HCPRECKP
                                            when old format RECBKs are read
                                            from the checkpoint cylinders.
                                            The old format RECBKs should then
                                            be updated appropriately to the
                                            new format. Code should also be
                                            added to HCPRIUCF and HCPRECRI to
                                            set the code for any RECBKs that
                                            are being newly created AFTER the
                                            format change. A new code should
                                            only need to be defined here when
                                            a change to the RECBK causes it
                                            to be incompatible with a
                                            previous format (as in the case
                                            of the RECTCNT field being
                                            expanded from a halfword to a
                                            fullword). Due to compatibility,
                                            the displacement of this field
                                            should NEVER change. Previous
                                            versions of this control block
                                            had this field marked 'RESERVED'
                                            and the field was known to be
                                            zero. Therefore, previous
                                            versions were version X'00'.
