Kris, You wrote: "No need to keep the tapes around: simply use DCSSBKUP to save a copy of the CMSVSAM and CMSAMS saved segments. If -and I say *if*- you go to another VM and use the spool of that other VM, use DCSSRSAV to restore both saved segments."
This assumes that the CMSBAM and CMSDOS segments have not changed size in the packed segment DOSBAM with the new release of VM. These two would also have to be saved and before the DCSSRSAV is run, would you not have to run the complete: 'CP DEFSEG CMSDOS B00-B0C SR SPACE DOSBAM' 'CP DEFSEG CMSBAM B0D-B37 SR SPACE DOSBAM' 'CP DEFSEG CMSAMS B38-B93 SR CC0-CEF EW SPACE DOSBAM' 'CP DEFSEG CMSVSAM B94-BFF SR CF0-CFF EW C00-C80 ER SPACE DOSBAM' Otherwise you blow the DOS segments? Correct?
