Appendix A. SDB format symptom-to-keyword cross reference

 

Structured database (SDB) format is one of the formats that we can use for searching the RETAIN database. Structured symptoms are also called RETAIN symptoms and "failure keywords". Table 18 lists which prefix keyword to use for which symptom.

Searching the IBM database provides details about searching RETAIN.
