GALPL Prolog

 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.
 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.
