This varies by individual Operating System Vendor (AIX, HPUX, etc...) -here's what the man page for the ps command in hpux 11i v1 says:

                               0    Nonexistent
                               S    Sleeping
                               W    Waiting
                               R    Running
                               I    Intermediate
                               Z    Terminated
                               T    Stopped
                               X    Growing

Your results will vary :)
