We use "PP 5648-A25 IBM COBOL for OS/390 & VM 2.2.0", and "5668-910 IBM OS PL/I OPTIMIZING COMPILER V2.R3.M0" -- but no VSAM.
After first copying "SEGBLIST EXC00000" as a backup to "SEGBLIST -EXC0000" ("Never change anything IBM sends you" without leaving a trail of bread crumbs), I've been manually deleting CMSBAM and CMSDOS from "SEGBLIST EXC00000" for ages. And then just manually purging their appropriate NSSes. I also mark them "DELETED" in "SEGBLIST SEGDATA" -- there's a VMFsomethingorother command to do that, but the upshot is: ... :OBJNAME.CMSBAM :DEFPARMS.DELETED .... :OBJNAME.CMSDOS :DEFPARMS.DELETED ... :OBJNAME.DOSINST :DEFPARMS.DELETED ... Again, no CMS VSAM other uses, and nothing has been complaining and they never need to be re-built after service because they are not in the SEGBLIST EXC00000" (he says without thoroughly looking through what he has done for a long time). :-) Mike Walter Hewitt Associates Any opinions expressed herein are mine alone and do not necessarily represent the opinions or policies of Hewitt Associates.

Ordinary CMS and Linux use of VM really doesn't invoke any of these segments in normal life. Of course, if you still use any compilers other than C/C++ or VS Fortran on CMS, you *do* care... *sigh*.
