The Display Object  Type Description command displays the  valid object
types on  the system in  a subfile and  allows a detail  display with a
one  paragraph description.  A print  option is also available to print
a one line listing or a paragraph for each object type.

Object types that exist in  either libraries or the IFS  are supported.

A typical command would be:

             DSPOBJTYPD

A subfile  would be displayed with all  of the valid object  types.  An
option exists to display a one paragraph description of each.

A specific type may also be entered such as:

             DSPOBJTYPD    OBJTYPE(*MODD)

The detail display is immediately shown.

To print a one paragraph description of all object types, specify:

             DSPOBJTYPD    OUTPUT(*PRINT) PARDSC(*YES)
