If you are doing this on your own test system and you are the systems programmer, you can use an undocumented DIAGxx parameter: TRAPS NAME(IEANOSDWA) JOBNAME(yourjob) While this is in effect, no SDWA will be provided for any ESTAE/ESTAI/ESTAEX/ARR when yourjob is the home address space. Keep in mind that undocumented means unsupported, use at your own risk, caveat emptor, etc. And don't have SYSUDUMP or SYSABEND allocated to yourjob, because SNAP's ESTAE for anticipated 0C4 dumping abends simply percolates when there is no SDWA, and then you will get an SDUMP for a 0C4 abend in SNAP/ABDUMP.
