Then this showed what FD stands for:

First, this output is for "diag sys top-summary", not "diag sys top". After some searching on the internet, FDS seems to represent the number of File Descriptors the process(es) is holding. Some articles are saying if the number keeps going up, that's an indication of memory leak.
