Entering statements via SDF

HSMS is operated via a statement interface. All inputs to HSMS are handled by the HSMS program.

Statements to HSMS are processed by the SDF command processor (System Dialog Facility). HSMS thus offers various forms of guided or unguided dialog, including the options of requesting statement-specific help menus and of conducting a correction dialog in the event of invalid statements. For further details see the “SDF Dialog Interface” manual [5].
