Standard statements

Programs which read their statements via SDF have so-called standard statements, whose functionality is independent of the program-specific statements.

The standard statements are automatically available via the basic syntax file (see "System syntax file ") of all programs with an SDF interface.

The standard statements are intended to promote user interface standardization. They offer functions which are generally regarded as useful in any program. Such identical functions should therefore be able to be addressed with one standardized statement name.
