All relevant VOLIN statements are also provided in the form of an SDF interface.
A prerequisite is that the SIR program, which starts the VOLIN subsystem implicitly, is called. A detailed description of the SDF statements for SIR can be found in the section “Statements”.
For your convenience, this section contains a brief overview of the correspondence between ISP and SDF statements and operands. Please note the following:
The SF statements INITIALIZE-PRIVATE-VOLUME and INITIALIZE-PUBLIC-VOLUME provide a label generation feature for private and public disks respectively.
All other ISP statements are provided in the form of operands under the relevant SDF statements.
Some ISP statements have become superfluous or are relevant only for outdated hardware, and have therefore been omitted from the SDF interface.
The digits 1 and 2 in the right-hand column of the table below stand for the following statements:
1 = |

2 = |
