Object types in the QSYS file system (and in save files)

[Dave McKenzie <davemck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm posting this question from James Lampert to the list because it may be of
some interest, and because there hasn't been much traffic on the list lately.

There's a table of object types in the pgm QSYS/QLICNV which you can see by
dumping it with SST.  It includes internal types (e.g. x0C90, data space index,
AKA access path) as well as external types (e.g. x1901, file).  On my V4R4
machine it has 287 types.  You could write a little pgm to winnow out the
external types by  passing the hex type code to the QLICVTTP API, which gives an
error if it's not an external type.  On my machine I get 101 external types.
(Contrast this  with V1R1 of the S/38, which as I recall had 19 types.)
