Virtual Storage Extended
     
         (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 4381}s and a significant
        proportion of {IBM 9370}s as well.  It offers {transaction
        processing} and {batch processing} capabilities well beyond
        {Virtual Machine}'s current capabilities, and has a close
        affinity with MVS.
