I promised a second post with reference to this post. As it happens, another 
thread appeared and I was requested to provide the explanation which roughly 
corresponds to the point I was going to make to you:

http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1108&L=ibm-main&D=1&O=D&P=342775

It was clear that, because to what you referred was comparable to the "MVS 
environment", what you actually *meant* was the "z/OS UNIX" environment.

As you can see, your use was a misuse - regrettably a very common one. As you 
approach anything to do with the TELNET servers supported by the IP component 
of z/OS Communications Server for the first time - as is bound to happen with 
each of the newcomers to these topics who generally appear not to use English 
as their first language and who may very well become the majority of users in 
the not too distant future - you will be introduced at the same time to 

a) Unformatted System Services (the *real* USS) commands and messages
B) confusion!

This confusion - for you and all these folk recently starting work with z/OS - 
would be entirely avoidable[1] if the officially approved abbreviation for 
anything to do with z/OS UNIX System Services were universally used, namely 
z/OS UNIX.

-

[1] There's a "hard core" of people who subscribe to IBM-MAIN who insist on the 
misuse although they do - it's not a question of "should" - know better. It's 
this "hard core" who are responsible for your actual or future confusion - and 
they stand condemned for their arrogant obstinacy!
