object type. The category of Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) objects to which a specific
SCF object belongs. For example, a specific disk has the object type DISK, and a
specific terminal may have the object type SU. Each subsystem has a set of object

operator message. A message, intended for an operator, that describes a significant event
