The DCX$ANALYZE_INIT routine initializes the context area for a statistical analysis of the data records to be compressed. The first (and typically the only) argument passed to DCX$ANALYZE_ INIT is an integer variable to contain the context value. The DCX facility assigns a value to the context variable and associates the value with the created work area. Each time you want a record analyzed in that area, specify the associated context variable. You can analyze two or more files at once by creating a different work area for each file, giving each area a different context variable, and analyzing the records of each file in the appropriate work area.
