Way back when (long before UNIX was added to MVS) the network sysprog told me that USS stood for Unformatted Screen Services.
Years after that but years (decades?) ago, I noticed that some VTAM books were talking about UNIX System Services in a context completely unrelated to UNIX. I sent feedback that this was not the correct expansion of USS in this context. I expect others also did. References to UNIX were soon removed. But I wonder if that is why VTAM books talk about Unformatted System Services now - because they changed UNIX to Unformatted, but not System to Screen.
