PURPOSE: The DEFINE SI command creates an entry in a Data Base Library (DBL) for the System Information (SI).
A SI provides an object within the DBL for the storage of non-executable text. Its major purpose is to provide the user with a means of documenting applications which define the scope of all objects used in the implementation of the application. Overview and operational aspects of an application should be documented in a SI. A well-documented application makes the job of on going maintenance easier.
