Yeah, USS is a component of VTAM. But, I be pedantic.

It seems that verbiage wars from a decade ago labeled those of us that pointed this out as pedantists.

When you initially connect to VTAM with a 3270 device, you get the MSG10 "panel" which is part of USS as I recall. But it has been decades since I did any USS programming and panel/window definitions that attached to VTAM applications (which TSO can be one, as can be IMS DC if I remember correctly). So take all of this with a bit of salt.

USS = Unformatted System Service, whatever that is.  I was always told the story that since IBM already used that acronym, it would not be used again for Unix Systems Services.  Don't know if that is true or not.

Conspicuously absent from that is the frequently used "USS".

Someday, I'll submit an RCF.
