Structured database (SDB) format is one of the formats that you can use for searching the RETAIN(R) 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.
