SDMAIN Command Abbreviations
Abbreviations provide a shorthand method for specifying commands in SDMAIN. Because of the need to
preserve uniqueness in the abbreviations, some commands do not have an abbreviated form. In these
cases, the full command and the abbreviation are the same. You can use an abbreviation anywhere the
corresponding command word is used. It can also be localized.
Note that abbreviations follow the same rules as user-defined names do, except that they can contain from
one to five characters. Within each of the following categories, abbreviations are unique; they may be
similar between sets, however.
