When you invoke SDA, by using the DCL commands ANALYZE/SYSTEM
or ANALYZE/CRASH_DUMP, SDA first executes commands from an
initialization file if one exists, before prompting the user
for commands. The initialization file is commonly used to read in
symbol tables and define keys for SDA commands.
First, SDA searches for an initialization file using the logical
name SDA$INIT. If this file is not found, then SDA searches for
the file SYS$LOGIN:SDA.INIT. If no initialization file is found,
or after the initialization file SDA commands have been executed,
SDA starts accepting interactive user commands from the "SDA>"
prompt.
