The statements to SDF-A are defined in syntax files furnished by Fujitsu. They are entered via the SDF command processor.
The standard statements are not specific to SDF-A. They include:
END
EXECUTE-SYSTEM-CMD
HELP-MSG-INFORMATION
HOLD-PROGRAM
MODIFY-SDF-OPTIONS
REMARK
RESET-INPUT-DEFAULTS
RESTORE-SDF-INPUT
SHOW-INPUT-DEFAULTS
SHOW-INPUT-HISTORY
SHOW-SDF-OPTIONS
SHOW-STMT
STEP
WRITE-TEXT
They are available on a system-global basis for user programs that read their statements via SDF. As soon as the user has defined his/her own user program, SDF assigns these statements to it. The EXECUTE-SYSTEM-CMD and HOLD-PROGRAM statements are available as of SDF V4.0 and BS2000/OSD-BC V2.0. The HELP-MSG-INFORMATION, RESET-INPUT-DEFAULTS and SHOW-INPUT-DEFAULTS statements can be used as of
SDF V4.1.
Every user has access to the full range of SDF-A functions. Certain operands, however, are reserved for Fujitsu Software Development and are masked out in the guided dialog and not described here.
Comments can be provided for statements to SDF-A; comments must be enclosed in quotation marks (").
