(1) Anything that can be created or manipulated with SQL, such as tables, views, indexes, packages, procedures, triggers, or any other objects that can be created by issuing a CREATE statement. See also database object.<br />(2) In object-oriented design or programming, a concrete realization (instance) of a class that consists of data and the operations associated with that data. An object contains the instance data that is defined by the class, but the class owns the operations that are associated with the data.<br />(3) A named storage space that consists of a set of characteristics that describe the space and, in some cases, data. An object is anything that occupies space in storage, can be located in a library or directory, can be secured, and on which defined operations can be performed. Some examples of objects are programs, files, libraries, and stream files.<br />(4) In object-oriented design or programming, an abstraction that consists of data and operations associated with that data.<br />(5) In X/Open Directory Service, data that can be identified. Each object is represented by an entry in the Directory Information Base (DIB).<br />(6) In AFP architecture, a collection of structured fields, bounded by a begin-object function and an end-object function. The object can contain other structured fields containing data elements of a particular type.<br />(7) Any digital content that a user can manipulate as a single unit to perform a task. An object can appear as text, an icon, or both.<br />(8) In WebSphere MQ, a queue manager, a queue, a process definition, a channel, a namelist, authentication information object, or a storage class (z/OS only).<br />(9) An item stored in a versioned object base (VOB). An object can be identified by an object-selector string, which includes a prefix that indicates the kind of object, the object's name, and a suffix that indicates the VOB in which the object resides. Examples: lbtype:REL1@/vobs/vega on UNIX and lbtype:REL1@vega on Windows See also label.
