Interesting. USS is clearly Unformated System Services in that listing. No abbreviation is mentioned for Unix System Services (but that implies nothing given the way the list is laid out). OMVS is mentioned only as the name of RACF segment. OE is not mentioned at all. No z/... abbreviation or phrase for anything Unixy except for zFS . Even z/Linux is omited. With about 30 years involvement with Unformated System Services (first VTAM, the both VTAM and Tn3270) and the rest of my career measured in weeks, I think I'll ignore the suggestion that flexability is needed. :-) Pat O'Keefe Pat O'Keefe ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
