D SDDBC Command Abbreviations
Abbreviations provide a short-hand for specifying commands in SDDBC. All command
words in the system have an abbreviated form (some have the entire word as the
abbreviation). Following are some major points about abbreviations:
• They consist of from one to five characters
• They are unique within each set
• They can be localized in the message catalog just like the command words
• They can be used anywhere the equivalent command word can be used
