In in an action context, action is NOT unblocked when a KICK is received for the action which invokes it, but the Kick handler may cause the action to be rescheduled and the action will then be unblocked when the reschedule occurs. This routine will return the status DUL__UNEXPECTED if this occurs.
Note that if another action/UFACE context calls this or assocaited routines (anything that invokes DitsActionWait/DitsUfaceWait) while this call is outstanding, then that call must unblock before this call will be unblocked - i.e. first in last out.
As of DUL version 3.40, we use the new DitsActionTransIdWait() and DitsUfaceTransIdWait() instead of the older versions which don't allow the transaction ID to be specified. This means we only return when the transaction completes or the timeout occurs, regardless of what other events come in. This is normally the required behaviour.
