Description of the databases
OI Database

OI Database

The basic unit of information in the OI database is the operator instruction (OI), which contains instruction text for a particular operation in an application. Each OI contains these sections:

Identification: The information in this section identifies the application operation that the operator instruction belongs to. The application is identified by its name. The operation can be identified by the operation number, the job name, or the name of the workstation where the operation takes place. This section can appear only once in each OI. You build the identification section with an OISTART control statement.
Text: Each OI can contain one or more text sections. Each text section contains one line of text and is built with an OIT control statement.
