VSE ==>
Virtual Storage Extended
<operating system> (VSE, formerly DOS/VSE) is a multitasking, IBM
370-architected operating system similar to Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS).
VSE run jobs in partitions rather than address spaces, and uses POWER for
input/output rather than JES, but is largely similar to MVS. Subsequent VSE/ESA
releases gave VSE the XA-370 channel architecture, 31-bit virtual and real
storage support, and data spaces. VSE is the IBM operating system on one-third
of installed IBM 4381s and a significant proportion of IBM 9370s as well. It
offers transaction processing and batch processing capabilities well beyond
Virtual Machine's current capabilities, and has a close affinity with MVS.
