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.
