  RCT Quiesce processing does a PURGE QUIESCE.  This waits for
completion of I/O operations which have been started.  Queued 
operations which have not yet been started are returned to the
IOS driver's purge exit.  The IOS driver (EXCP, VSAM, Meadi Manager,
for example), retranslates the channel programs as needed
after RCT Restore.
