     NAME - MRUSEINT
     DESCRIPTIVE NAME - Monitor Sample Record
                        Domain 4 - User Domain
                        Record 4 - User Interaction Data
     DESCRIPTION - Describes a VMDBK's use of the system.  Included
                   are such things as its use of IUCV, APPC and the
                   number of times it occupied various queues.  A
                   separate record is generated for each VMDBK defined
                   in the user's virtual complex.
     NOTES:
       - Fields labeled by the prefix, 'USEINT_HF', are high-frequency
         counters.
       - The following is the order of high-frequency counters in which
         the user is tested for its wait state.  If the user is in more
         than one state, it is counted only in the first of the list.
