Hello Everyone,
A little behind as I took another day after WAVV.
We are on z/VM 5.3 and have VSE/VSAM for z/VM. I have kept the
tapes and Directory. We are actually using z/VM to read access the
VSE/VSAM files on the z/VSE 4.1.2 systems via Nomad2 (GL4).
Everything does work fine other that some mismatches to the type
of device if you do z/VM LISTCAT functions.
I do suspect that within two to three releases of z/VSE we will
have more problems.

If there is no real need to create VSAM files in CMS, but merely to
access VSAM files from CMS, I once had a Rexx add-on that allowed VSAM
access to VSE packs linked to the user. It worked fine for my purposes,
at the time. However, at this point, I don't know if I could even find
it. It's been at least 10 years, perhaps more. I believe it was called
VSAMIO. I'll see if any of my old tapes have it.
Until (or unless) VSAM changes in VSE (as it did in MVS), I see no
reason why most functions would not continue to work.
