In the -10 edition of the POO, it is on page 5-80, under the heading "Entry 
Descriptors".

Entry Type (ET): Bits 1-7 are a code that specifies
the type of the linkage-stack entry containing the
entry descriptor. The assigned codes are:

Code (in Binary)   Entry Type               
0001001            Header entry             
0001010            Trailer entry            
0001100            Branch State entry       
0001101            Program-call state entry 

Codes 0000000-0001000, 0001011, and 0001110
through 0111111 binary are reserved for possible
future assignments. Codes 1000000 through
1111111 binary are available for use by programming.
