Amar, Could you logon to the service machine running VMSERVE, stop VMSERVE, and then run the command that was running when you experienced the failure? If it still fails the same way, you will evidence that VMSERVE is not causing the problem, and can look elsewhere.
An alternative if you don't want to stop VMSERVE: from another ID, link to all the disks that VMSERVE has accessed and run the same failing command. If the same failure occurs, you can diagnose, correct, and test the solution with affecting VMSERVE, then move the fix into production.

Recently, it started giving this error every time we make a program run through VMSERVE. I am not very experienced in z/VM so any help is appreciated! System : z/VM Version 5 Release 2.0, Service Level 0801 (64-bit) WWVM ESA CMS 15 012 VMSERVE starts fine but as soon as it runs a program, VMSERVE crashes and ends with this error, DMSITS135S Maximum SVC depth 200 has been exceeded. DMSITS135S Maximum SVC depth 200 has been exceeded. It probably means : The CMS system does not allow the nesting level of SVCs to exceed 'nnnn'. But not sure what can be done to fix this.
