Terminology consistency in GDPS BPCPDEFS panel

Make terminology used on panel VPCPDEFS consistent with terminology used in panel VPCPFLFZ.

On Panel VPCPFLFX the column IplType has a value of Normal and Abnormal to refer to the LPAR definitions specified in the GEODOMAINS UET.

When the operator goes into

Option 9.1 Display System Definitions and STatus

they are presented with panel VPCDEFS.

This panel shows PRIoBJ to represent the Normal Lpar and SecObj to represent Abnormal.

Would be nice if they stated Normal and Abnormal instead of PriObj and SecObj.

There is no Help on this panel so nothing to tie these two values together.

    This is a historical request that was submitted against a now-deprecated GDPS release, and may no longer reflect current client need. If a similar requirement still exists, please create a new RFE to document it.
