Appendix B  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
