Haven't you noticed that, in recent years, bull-fighting has been deprecated in 
its heartlands?

Why not - when you put yourself in my sights?

The following are the principal - if not the "entire" - paths:

5.11, "Unformatted system services tables" in z/OS V1R13 Communications Server 
SNA Resource Definition Reference

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/f1a1b6c0/5.11

12.8, "Logon and logoff requests from dependent logical units" in z/OS V1R13 
Communications Server SNA Network Implementation Guide

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/f1a1b5b0/12.8

(Please accept my apologies in advance if any mention of "SNA" brings on a cold 
sweat - or raised blood pressure - whatever!)

16.3.29, "USSTCP statement" in z/OS V1R13 Communications Server IP 
Configuration Reference

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/f1a1b4b0/16.3.29

16.4, "Telnet USS table setup" in z/OS V1R13 Communications Server IP 
Configuration Reference

2.2.1.4.15, "Using the Telnet solicitor or USS logon screen" in z/OS 
Communications Server IP Configuration Guide

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/f1a1b3b0/2.2.1.4.15

Incidentally, I did a smidgen of checking in the "development" manuals and I 
discovered that if - as appears to be the case from the context - and the plea! 
- you mean to refer to something other than the "Unformatted System Services" 
function present in both of the two components, SNA (VTAM) and IP (in the shape 
of the SNA-oriented TELNET server), of Communications Server, you could simply 
have keyed "UNIX" - as in the JCL Reference - or probably more generally "z/OS 
UNIX" - and your fingertips would not have suffered irretrievable damage - and 
you would enjoy the warm glow which comes from "doing the right thing"!

Yet another incidentally: Failure to abjure the attempted hijacking leads to 
the following sort of nonsense where orthodoxy can be found in close proximity 
to heresy:

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/f1a1d1b0/6.23

And there are some members of the spittle-flecked brigade - CO Brig. MacNeil - 
who claim there is no ambiguity. Moreover they also deliberately - alright, 
let's try to be charitable - clumsily ignore the confusion they impose upon 
novices who, having "enjoyed" a z/OS general education, find themselves working 
with the TN3270E server or, quite possibly, the OSA-Express feature configured 
as an ICC.[1]

A final incidentally - for now: Has anyone else noticed a not so subtle 
addition in the z/OS Version 1 Release xx Implementation redbooks between xx=12 
and xx=13, SG24-7853 and SG24-7946? This demonstrates once again the curate's 
egg nature of the redbook collection. This sort of aberration can be expected 
when, rather than being development authors who are supposed to be 
disciplined[2], the authors are amateurs, folk like you and me, and review is 
supposed to be performed by an ITSO "resident" - in former times an assignee 
from an IBM field post but there's less evidence of that recently - and an ITSO 
editor - who also may have "off" days!

for evidence that one of your poor fellow subscribers can be so bemused that, 
even after having had a little tutorial on the abbreviation used in its correct 
- originally 1970s - context - courtesy of one C.J. Mason, after a mere 7 
months the fact that the correct use was quite different from the incorrect use 
had been forgotten, so pernicious is the influence of so much misuse. And the 
members of the brigade pretend it doesn't matter!

Note that an URL direct from the IBM-MAIN archive is unsuitable since it 
incorporates my e-mail address.

[2] Although there are far too many careless lapses upon which the 
spittle-flecked leap in order to justify their untenable position. Nevertheless 
their vaunting triumphalism can easily be pricked by pointing out that, if 
someone has taken the trouble to point out the "lapse", it gets corrected. The 
following, the first instance of the misuse (checked because Brig. MacNeil 
claimed he had fist seen the misuse 15 years ago - and has been delighting in 
the misuse ever since) illustrates my point:

OS/390 UNIX System Services Parallel Environment: MPI Programming and 
Subroutine Reference

For V2R4, V2R5 and V2R6, SC33-6696-00, the misuse is present:

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IPEPRE01/

For V2R7, SC33-6696-01, the misuse has been purged:

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ASSPRE00/

Intriguingly enough,

- this "component" appeared before the general revision of "OpenEdition" to 
"OS/390 UNIX System Services",

- the "component" has two "sister" manuals where the author(s) - one could say 
- lacked the imagination of the author of SC33-6696 that Brig. MacNeil found so 
appealing!
