"MVS"? While MVS is a component of z/OS, the other one is UNIX System Services. As far as I can tell, USS (no, let's not argue over that short form) is not MVS, it's USS. Yes, they're well-integrated and talk to each other and all that, but why say "MVS UNIX files"? Why not just "UNIX files"? Happy to be corrected about the delineation, but that's what I believe I've observed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
