What is the difference between a System Address Space vs a Started Task
Address Space?

I think (and could be wrong) that the names are not precisely defined.

Example of system AS can be XCFAS or PCAUTH or CATALOG.
Example of Started Task AS can be: CICSREG1, DB2 AS'es, VTAM, TSO.
Note: VTAM and TSO are parts of the z/OS, but they are considered as started tasks.

Another difference: D A,L show started tasks (and TSO users), D A,ALL show every AS including system AS'es.

My €0.02


BTW: Why do you ask? Just curiosity, or ...?
Just curious. ;-)

Just curious and was wondering if there was an internal difference. Sure stated tasks are started via an operator command while system tasks are started by the OS. But was wondering if there is some other internal difference.
