You're welcome. There's actually no need to write a post to thank someone on the forum. Clicking Like/Thank is more than enough. :)

Ok, I will follow to your advice. You wrote an SDS is necessary. Is this correct? Or should be "a SDS"?

Yes, "an SDS" is correct. The choice of article depends on the sound of the letter, not the letter itself. Here, we have "ess-dee-ess". Therefore, we need "an" not "a".

Volodymyr, this is the sixth time I have deleted a "Thank you" post by you. On each occasion, I have said that such posts are unnecessary. Piscean told you the same thing in another thread. Hopefully, you will follow that advice now that it's been given to you by a third member of the forum.
