I should have clarified USS with the abbreviated meaning of Unix System Services does not appear in an IBM manual. Or as an abbreviation for z/OS UNIX System Services.

I had never thought USS was not Unix System Services. I did VTAM work for many years, so I was familiar with USS as Unformatted System Services, (which you can find in an IBM manual). Unix System Services is not in an IBM manual, which I disbelieved and had to do some bulk searching to determine.
