The SDF command language (System Dialog Facility) supports entries in interactive mode, during the execution of procedures and in batch operation. SDF offers entry via an interactive menu interface (three levels), syntax check with subsequent correction dialog and the use of user-specific commands. SDF performance features are also available when entering program statements, provided the program utilizes the SDF interface.
The performance features of the SDF interface are explained in detail in the “SDF Dialog Interface” manual [15]. A brief description can be displayed using the HELP-SDF command. Further information concerning job-specific control options of the SDF interface is provided in the descriptions of the MODIFY-SDF-OPTIONS and SHOW-SDF-OPTIONS commands.
The SDF command language has replaced the ISP command language. Commands from the old command language ISP continue to be supported for the sake of compatibility. The full functionality of SDF can be exploited only with commands and statements employing the SDF syntax (ISP commands are checked only with regard to their names).
The “Commands” manual contains a general part and various command overviews, as well as a command section with all commands of the SDF command language for the operating system BS2000 (basic configuration). In addition, it contains commands which can only be used in conjunction with a specific software product. In such cases, the command description includes a note to this effect. These commands are also described in the relevant product manuals.
Software configuration described
This description is valid for BS2000 V21.0A. Where functions or commands are described which are only available when supplementary software products or components are used, a note to this effect is provided. The associated component is specified for each command in the “Component”.
