It's obsoleted by FC and SAS. Even IBM don't use SSA anymore. (sorry couldn't resist) ;-) -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland P.S. Hint: SSA - Serial Storage Architecture ANSI X3710.1 (used in ESS Sharks), or System Specific Alias. Or 150+ other acronyms, most unrelated to IT or mainframes. Radislaw: And USS stands for.... I know these acronyms are used in the US and may not be known over in Europe. Sorry about using them. Frankly I was tired forgot that the listserv covers various nationalities. I will try and do better in the future (but can't promise).
