IIRC 4331's were introduced along with a supposedly "user-friendly", "simpler" version of DOS/VSE that IBM labeled SSX/VSE. It had a LOT more menu-driven configuration and administration screens than regular DOS/VSE, all running under ICCF. It was supposed to be possible for a normal COBOL programmer or even a savvy "end user" to maintain the machine. Not that you couldn't run regular DOS/VSE on a 4331, but I understand quite a number were sold in special packages including SSX/VSE. Though another vague memory also says that those "package" deals came with FBA disks (3310 or 3370) instead of CKD 3350's, so perhaps your copy is regular DOS/VSE after all.
