  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
  ****************************************************************
  Generic compression exit provided by Hardware Data Compression
  Extended is corrupt. The size is x'4010' bytes, which must be
  x'10010' bytes. The entry point name is HDCGDICT, which must
  be HCOGDIC1. The binary data is inconsistent.
  

Problem conclusion

• - Generic compression dictionary load module SHCOLMOD(HCOGDIC1)
    has been generated using original source SHCODATA(HCOGDIC).
  - Entry point name of dictionary load module SHCOLMOD(HCOGDIC1)
    has been fixed to HCOGDIC1
  

Temporary fix
