       THE ONE SUPPLIED BY THE CALLER.

Operation 

       DMSLAD  SEARCHES   THROUGH  THE  ACTIVE   DISK  TABLE
       STARTING AT IADT TO FIND
       AN ADT  BLOCK WHOSE  MODE-LETTER, IS  GIVEN BY  ADTM,
       MATCHES THAT OF THE CALLER.   IF A MATCHING ADT BLOCK
       IS FOUND, ITS ADDRESS IS  RETURNED IN R1 AS INDICATED
       ABOVE.  IF NOT, AN ERROR-RETURN  IS GIVEN.  IN EITHER
       EVENT,  THE  CONDITION-CODE  IS   SET  PER  R15,  FOR
       CONVENIENCE OF THE CALLER (WHO CAN OMIT THE USUAL LTR
       INSTRUCTION BEFORE CHECKING THE RETURN-CODE).

       DMSLAD IS  CALLED BY MANY  PROGRAMS AND  FUNCTIONS TO
       DETERMINE THE
       ADDRESS  OF THE  ACTIVE DISK  TABLE  PERTAINING TO  A
       GIVEN DISK.
