In the procedure and batch modes the SDF interface is always started by IMON-BAS by default using the START-IMON command. IMON-BAS also expects statements in the SDF format as additional input.
The statement mode is also available in the interactive dialog.
The SDF interface can be started directly using the operand INPUT-INTERFACE=*SDF in the START-IMON command.
In menu mode, you can use the Switch to SDF interface option in the Options menu to switch
to the statement mode (see "Switching between menu and statement mode" (Working with the menu interface of IMON-BAS )).
The open SCI remains open.
