USS is still a convenient abbeviation for Unix System Services and all the current pubs are still called Unix System Services something or other (not z/OS Unix something or other). Just because IBM started using z/OS unix doesn't mean every software MF component known to man kind is going to change their parms / keywords (for example, ZUXHOME for CICS SIT). If it sounds like I'm making an argument for both sides, I'm not and yet I am. :-) There is software development, then there is marketing (like IFA vs. zAAP), and then there is reality. The reality is people like to use abbreviations, official or not. BTW, ISTR a time B4 this thread when real mainframe discussions took place on this list. Let's please get back to it ASAP! Ty. L8r.
