DATA EXTENT BLOCK -- QTAM MESSAGE<br />

PROCESSING PROGRAM<br />

This data extent block is used in QTAM by a<br />

message processing program to describe<br />

message process queues and destination<br />

queues, which are in main storage. (BTAM,<br />

and QTAM message control programs, use the<br />

ordinary DEB described previously.) It is<br />

an extension of the information in the DCB<br />

concerning t.he physical characteristics of<br />

the data set and other information that is<br />

used by the control program. Figure 12A<br />

shows the format of the DEB proper used for<br />

message processing queues: Figure 12B shows<br />

the DEB for destination queues.<br />
