DLITPLI - This is the ENTRY statement (first statement executed)
DLITPLI will transfer control to your program
DLI is the main program and PL1 program acts as subprogram.

Regarding your query of SNO200 program, please refer to below post which has the full source code for SNo200 program.

You CANNOT code DLITPLI source program, this is the standard DLI interface program for IMS.

ENTRY DLITPLI can be coded in any IMS program if you want to call the DLI interface.

I would suggest you to read IMS DB book.
