Color me stupid but what are you referring to when you say UIM? Are you
referring to the menu creation utility in SDA?

UIM is "User Interface Manager". It's a language for creating screens, sort of like DDS, but based on "tags."

SDA does not create UIM.

All of the IBM menus are UIM, that's how it's possible to scroll through a list of options that's longer than the screen in IBM's menus. It also allows you to have more than 99 options.

For example, on my system when I type GO CMDDSP to to go the IBM-supplied menu that contains all of the DSP commands, there are 196 options, and I have to scroll up and down to read them all. You can't do that with DDS (unless you also write a program to load it as a subfile, but it's not really a menu any more at that point)
