     NAME       : TVISECT
     DESCRIPTION: DMSTVI PLIST - Tape Volume Processing I-face
     DSECT      : TVISECT
     FUNCTION   : THIS MACRO MAPS THE PLIST THAT IS PASSED TO DMSTVI
                  WHEN DMSTVI IS CALLED. THE ADDRESS OF THE PLIST
                  IS IN REGISTER 1 WHEN DMSTVI IS CALLED. TVISECT
                  is a parameter list that defines the input to a
                  user supplied DMSTVI module. TVISECT is
                  generated when the user issues the TVISECT
                  macro.
     NOTES      : MODULE TYPE is MACRO
                  PROCESSOR is ASSEMBLER F
