     NAME       : HCPMSDBK
     DESCRIPTION: Monitor Send Block
     DSECT      : MSDBK
     FUNCTION   : To represent a monitor broadcast (IUCV Sends of the
                  same information to one or more users).  The counts
                  contained in an MSDBK are used to determine when the
                  DCSS pages corresponding to that broadcast can be
                  released for reuse.

     NOTES      : The MSDBK is used to link Monitor broadcasts in
                  a circular list.  As a result of this circular list
                  implentation, it is a requirement that MSDFWDPT and
                  MSDBCKPT are the first two words in the list.  This is
                  necessary, because the code thinks that the head and
                  tail pointers to the list are 'another element of the list'.
