That sounds like a job for the Pageable Access Method, last heard of on
XT/370 or AT/370. I agree with you, tho, about not having to do assemblies
and reipls to change a segment. I think, tho, it was DMKSNT rather than
DMKSYS.

For what it's worth I am still doing flips at not having to deal with DMKSYS
assemblies and IPL's for the saved segments. Now I am thinking 'Why keep
them in spool space?' Wouldn't a more logical approach be to save the
segments on a CP minidisk i.e. MAINT's CF1?
That would solve a lot of backup/restore/format problems.
My two cents......
