So many MVS utilities have vernacular names that consist of a 3-letter prefix followed by a functional name, they just seem to roll off the tongue that way: I-E-B-copy, I-E-H-program, I-E-B-gener, I-E-B-print/punch, I-E-H-init, I-E-H-list, I-E-B-update, D-F-H-sort.
I-D-C-access-method-services seems to fit the same pattern but everyone calls it I-D-cams. I guess IBM should have given it an entry point of IDCSVCES; then we could call it I-D-C-services.
