     NAME       : HCPGSXBK
     DESCRIPTION: Cross system communication block
     DSECT      : GSXBK
     FUNCTION   : Maps the GSDDATA field in the HCPGSDBK for use
                  by CSE in cross system communication.
                  This DSECT is used to pass the user ID and
                  other pertinent information about the user
                  who issued a CP command sent to this system
                  from another system in this CSE complex.
                  The control block is created when a QITEM
                  is received representing a CP command that
                  is to be executed on this system.  The
                  CP command processors, such as HCPCSC for
                  the TRANSFER command, and HCPTHI for the
                  INDICATE command, use the information in
                  this control block in lieu of the VMDBK.
                  HCPQCNWT uses this information to determine
                  to which system responses should be sent.
