No. SDF, from your description, appears to be a convention for
laying out data in a file. ASCII is a character encoding. It defines
128 code points, numbered 0 through 127, and specifies what character
can be found at each of them. Like CR (Carriage Return) at code
point 13, and LF (Linefeed) at code point 10. And '4' (Digit Four) at
code point 52, unlike EBCDIC which has it at code point 244.
