     DSECT      : SPABK
     FUNCTION   : TO CONTAIN A RECORD OF SYSTEM RESOURCES
                  ALLOCATED TO A SPOOL FILE WHILE IT IS ACTIVE,
                  EITHER BEING CREATED OR PROCESSED ON THE
                  DESTINATION DEVICE.  THESE RESOURCES INCLUDE
                  ASA ALLOCATION AND RESERVED CP VIRTUAL PAGES.
     LOCATED BY : RSPSPA   - FOR A SPOOL FILE ACTIVE ON A REAL
                  SPOOLING DEVICE
                  VSPSPA   - FOR A SPOOL FILE ACTIVE ON A VIR-
                  TUAL SPOOLING DEVICE
                  ASPSPABK - FOR A SPOOL FILE ACTIVE FOR *SPL
     CREATED BY : HCPSFSON - WHEN OPENING A NEW SPOOL FILE FOR
                  CREATION
                  HCPSFSOR - WHEN OPENING A NEW SPOOL FILE FOR
                  READING
                  HCPSFSOW - WHEN OPENING A NEW SPOOL FILE FOR
                  WRITING
     DELETED BY : HCPSFRCL - WHEN PROCESSING IS COMPLETE FOR A
                  SPOOL FILE ACTIVE ON A REAL SPOOL
                  DEVICE, AND THE FILE IS TO BE
                  PURGED
                  HCPSFPCN - WHEN A NEW OR UPDATED SPOOL FILE
                  IS CLOSED
                  HCPSFPCR - WHEN A SPOOL FILE OPEN FOR READING
                  IS CLOSED
                  HCPSFPON - WHEN AN ERROR OPENING A NEW SPOOL
                  FILE IS ENCOUNTERED
                  HCPSFPOR - WHEN AN ERROR OPENING A SPOOL FILE
                  FOR READING IS ENCOUNTERED
                  HCPSFPOW - WHEN AN ERROR OPENING A SPOOL FILE
                  FOR WRITING IS ENCOUNTERED
