 NAME       : HCPGALPL
 DESCRIPTION: Generalized Associative Lookup
              Parameter List
 DSECT      : GALPL
 FUNCTION   : Provide the parameters, work area and root for
              hash table used by HCPGAL
 LOCATED BY : N/A
 CREATED BY : A program that needs it.
              It may also be permanently defined in a
              data module such as in HCPHSH.
 DELETED BY : A program when function not needed.
              It may also never be deleted even when all
              the entries have been deleted.  This is the
              case for the data module HCPHSH.
 RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : None
 COMMENTS   : This parameter list is used by the generalized
              associative lookup routine to both define a
              hash table and store its high level index
              The caller is responsible for defining the size
              of the key (GALKEYSZ) and providing sufficient
              space for the high level index (GALINDX)
              The remaining fields are work areas.
  ECOMMENDED USAGE -
              In order to define a new hash table, a new entry must be
              created in the file HCPHSH ASSEMBLE.  The entry should
              have the naming convention of HCPHSHxx. These entries are
              meant to serve as the root of the hash table, and can be
              referenced by other modules in CP as a DATA EXTERN.
              After defining a hash table within HCPHSH, all calls to
              the HCPGAL functions (such as inserting into the hash
              table) will require the address of the GALPL definition
              as input.  For example, this can be acquired by:
              HCPEXTERN HCPHSHxx       Reference to hash table
              ...
              L   Ry,=A(HCPHSHxx)      Point to the hash table
              HCPCALL HCPGALzz         Make a hash table call
              For further information on how hash tables managed by
              HCPGAL work, refer to HCPGAL ASSEMBLE.

The actual number is 763.5 but we allow a little breathing room. This number is 75% of the number of 4-byte entries that fit in a page minus 24 bytes (for free storage header/trailer), or: ((4096-24)/4*(.75)) entries.
