Good discussion. As OP, I was hoping for some consensus that "Under z/OS Unix" or "Under USS" are not very useful terms since most people don't recognize them as meaning "any dubbed z/OS Unix process". "Under a z/OS Unix shell" or "program in a zFS filesystem" are closer to what most people see to think of. But I don't care to discuss "proper" terminology - there is enough of that around here. More interesting to me is to better understand how z/OS Unix works and what needs improvement.
