Procedure comment definition
A comment consisting of a character string can be specified for a procedure routine. A character string of up to 256
bytes can be specified. If no comment is necessary, omit the specification.

Define a function routine using the CREATE FUNCTION statement. For details of the function routine function, refer to
the "RDB User's Guide: Application Program Development." A sample definition for user-created function routine

2.7 Defining a Storage Structure
After the logical structure has been defined, define the storage structure. The storage structure definition is then
stored in the RDB dictionary.
The two kinds of storage structure definitions are DSO definitions and DSI definitions. A table DSO and a table DSI
are defined for a table created by a logical structure definition. In addition, if an index is to be defined for a table, an
index DSO and an index DSI are defined.
A storage structure is defined by executing a DSO definition statement and a DSI definition statement.
For details about storage structures, see Chapter 4 "Storage Structure."
Figure: Storage structure definition procedure shows the storage structure definition procedure.
