The first field in the dictionary record is indicative of the
structure of the record.
If I remember correctly, for dictionary type A the structure should be
something like this:
001 A
002 field position
003 report header
004
005
006 input conversion
007 output conversion
008 correlative
009 justification
010 length

Your listing does not show the fields and also the fields do not seem
to be in the right order (you should use the JED editor and then print
screen).

Not being able to see the field positions I have to make some
assumtions about your correlative:
Type                    : A
Field                    : 0
Output conversion : MD0,
Correlative            : TSH;X;4;4
Justification          : R
Display length      : 8

If that is what it is the the meaning is:
Read the record with the same key from the file named SH.
If not found, return null.
If found return field 4.
Format the field with 0 decimals and ',' as thousands delimiter.
Show data right-justified in an 8 character field.
