Provided are a method, system, and program for decoding compressed data.
Compressed data is received and decoded. An error is detected while
decoding a first location in the compressed data. A reentry data set is
accessed having a pointer to a second location in the compressed data
following the first location and decoding information that enables
decoding to start from the second location. The second location in the
compressed data is accessed and the decoding information in the accessed
reentry data set is used to continue decoding the compressed data from
the second location.
