     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.
