Specifies a user-defined USS table that contains user-modified VTAM® operator commands and VTAM operator messages to be used by the program operator.

USSTAB applies only to a program operator application program (AUTH=PPO or AUTH=SPO). It is ignored if you code it for an application program that is not a program operator.

If there is no USSTAB operand in the definition for a program operator:
  • VTAM uses the IBM-supplied USS table (ISTINCNO) when processing USS commands issued by the program operator.
  • VTAM uses the SSCPFM operand to determine which USS table to use when sending a VTAM operator message to a program operator, as described in the information on the SSCPFM operand.
