RTVOBJTYPD      RETRIEVE OBJECT TYPE DESCRIPTION       TAAOBJZ

The  Retrieve  Object   Type  Description  command  retrieves   a  text
description   of  an  object   type.     For  example,  *JOBD   =  'Job

             DCL           &OBJTYPD *CHAR LEN(30)
              .
             RTVOBJTYPD    OBJTYPE(*...) OBJTYPD(&TEXT)

Only lower case English is supported.
