Overview of all statements

The SDF-CONV utility routine accepts the statements listed below.

CONVERT	Start the conversion of the command language and/or procedure format
END EXECUTE-SYSTEM-CMD HELP-MSG-INFORMATION HOLD-PROGRAM MODIFY-SDF-OPTIONS	Terminate SDF-CONV run Execute system command while SDF-CONV is running Output system message to SYSOUT Interrupt execution of SDF-CONV Activate or deactivate user syntax file and change SDF settings
REMARK	Write comments in statement sequence and document execution of program
RESET-INPUT-DEFAULTS RESTORE-SDF-INPUT	Reset task-specific default values Redisplay previously entered statements or commands on screen
SHOW-INPUT-DEFAULTS SHOW-INPUT-HISTORY SHOW-SDF-OPTIONS	Display task-specific default values Display contents of input buffer Display task-specific information on activated syntax files and options set for input and processing of statements
SHOW-STMT STEP	Display the syntax of a statement Define restart point in sequence of SDF-CONV statements
WRITE-TEXT	Output specific text to SYSOUT or SYSLST

CONVERT is the only program-specific statement. The remaining statements, are referred to as "SDF standard statements" (see the section “Standard statements”).

In expert mode, the CONVERT statement is preset. This means that entry of "?" causes the operand form of the CONVERT statement to be output instead of the statement menu.
