The CMS Application Development Guide for Assembler discusses SVC 202 and 
204 (CMSCALL) in Chapter 5.  The MVS SVCs are in Ch. 22.  The DOS SVCs are 
in Ch. 24.

SVC 203 still exists, but only for AMODE 24 programs.   SVC 201 is what 
you get when you issue the CMSRET macro.  Neither 201 nor 203 are 
explicitly discussed.

But I think that's a red herring, and that there's a problem in your 
process.  Are you trying to compile on Linux (using gcc?) and then run on 
CMS?  People who write programs in HLLs don't have to worry about SVCs. Or 
are you writing in assembler?
