And then, when they point you to a PTF that will fix your problem, it
will probably have a comment in it like this one: PROBLEM DESCRIPTION(S): OA12191 - **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Unix System Services (USS) * * and Hierarchical File System (HFS). * ****************************************************************

In fact 'USS messages" on the IBM-MAIN list are about:
1. "official acronym" war.
2. Unix System Services, aka z/OS UNIX Services
3. VTAM Unformated System Services (afaik).

In fact I can't remember any question type 3.
Usually questions type 2. raise new 'USS war' and flood of messages type 1.
I didn't do any statistics, but I believe in the last 4-5 years number of type 3. questions was significantly less than type 2. And type 1. of course is much greater than type 2. + type 3. <g>

The PTF above, the USS findings when searching official IBM documentation, the posts on IBM-MAIN clearly show that people use USS when think of Unix System Services. In fact it doesn't matter if this is correct or incorrect. Although the 'correctness' is main thread in the 'USS war' - some people claim the acronym should be 'official' and 'approved' by IBM or maybe other 'acronym authority'.
