context
OpenVMS usage:context
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference
Value identifying the data stream that DCX$COMPRESS_DATA
compresses. The context argument is the address of a longword
containing this value. DCX$COMPRESS_INIT initializes the value;
you should not modify it. You can define multiple context
arguments to identify multiple data streams that are processed
simultaneously.

mechanism: by descriptor
Data record to be compressed. The in_rec argument is the address
of the descriptor of the data record string.
out_rec
OpenVMS usage:char_string
type: character string
access: write only
mechanism: by descriptor
Data record that has been compressed. The out_rec argument is
the address of the descriptor of the compressed record that
DCX$COMPRESS_DATA returns.
out_length
OpenVMS usage:word_signed
type: word integer (signed)
access: write only
mechanism: by reference
Length (in bytes) of the compressed data record. The out_length
argument is the address of a word into which DCX$COMPRESS_DATA
returns the length of the compressed data record.
