>If "USS" was "official" you would expect a massive number of hits. Wayne (nor anyone else who has ever weighed in on this topic) never claimed it was "official". Read his post... the word official was never used. >Of course I have no doubt that the developers among themselves use "USS" >very freely as will any, for example, redbook authors or SHARE attendees, >who come into contact with them. Exactly... common usage and less keystrokes. So what is the problem in using it in a forum like this when everyone knows exactly what it means? Are all the net jargon abbreviations"official". Do we waste time debating it? All who object: Feel free to spell out Unix System Services (I tend to use "z/OS Unix" in my "formal" writings) in any posts you need to. Otherwise, unless you really don't know what the OP was talking about, there is no point in debating this over and over again. -- Mark Zelden Sr. Software and Systems Architect - z/OS Team Lead Zurich North America / Farmers Insurance Group: G-ITO mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] z/OS and OS390 expert at http://searchDataCenter.com/ateExperts/ Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ Mark's MVS Utilities: http://home.flash.net/~mzelden/mvsutil.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
